This is on two up-to-date Hardy systems, both with Nvidia chipsets on ASUS motherboards, with SATA hard drives.
One system absolutely refused to boot after the Hardy upgrade. This did not make me very happy. The other system stalls in the initramfs world about 2 times out of 3 on a power-on or reboot sequence. What did make me happy was a crude workaround (which I do NOT consider a proper fix), of adding "all_generic_ide" to the boot stanza in /boot/grub/menu.lst: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-18-generic root=UUID=1e3fbd55-5dfa- 4cee-b9c7-8bc8bd3982ff ro splash all_generic_ide The hang has not happened since then. I have no idea of the impact of this change on performance, etc. See also bug #222176 and #227003 -- Ubuntu often stops when starting up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/172563 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
