Same issue here. Unbelievable that the Ubuntu team would push out Hardy before fixing this kind of issue. What a nightmare for an average user!
The old kernel (2.6.22) worked fine. After turning off the "quiet" and "splash" kernel options, the 2.6.24 kernel produces error messages like: ata3: failed to IDENTIFY ata3: failed to recover some devices After maybe 5 minutes, it drops me to a busybox shell. The "pci=nomsi" fix works for me. I have no idea what this means. What are the side effects of using this option? * lspci-vvnn output attached. * I'm running RAID 5 with three SATA WD 500GB hard drives. If i was on the Ubuntu team, I'd be telling them to stop pushing the Distribution Upgrades until this issue is fixed. This is amazingly bad. ** Attachment added: "Output of lspci -vvnn" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14869744/lspci-vvnn.log -- Kernel hangs on boot (SATA, AMD64/i386) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190492 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
