This problem is actually an old one in the realtime linux patchset. It was fixed back in 2006 [1]. About one year ago, a core functionality of the -rt patchset, threaded irq handlers, was introduced to the mainline. However, the fix was not merged into mainline, thus you are hitting it now. I am building a test kernel that has the patch included. When it's ready please test it to make sure it works and fixes your issue.

[Chase Douglas (chasedouglas)]

I've got the test kernel uploaded to http://people.canonical.com/~cndougla/533335/. Please install it and test to ensure if fixes your issue.

Thanks

Hello
Sorry for the late reply... I installed these packages, now my computer stay blocked on the starting up (plymouth screen)

[Chase Douglas (chasedouglas)]

Are you able to boot into a previous kernel and then upgrade your packages? Some large graphics changes went into 2.6.32-16, and the latest plymouth package has many bug fixes. It may not be a bad idea to just remove plymouth if none of that solves your issues. It still has some bugs that may keep you from booting correctly

Thanks

[Youjin (youjin-)]

I done all update before to install the test kernel and my computer worked without problems. After installing the new kernel and saw the plymouth's freeze I tried to boot in recovery mode (so without plymouth) and my computer stay blocked too.

(sorry for my verry bad english, I'm french...)

[Chase Douglas (chasedouglas)]

Are you able to boot into the official Ubuntu 2.6.32-16 kernel?

[Chase Douglas (chasedouglas)]

I've posted about this on the netdev mailing list [1]. Unfortunately, the issue is that a change made a year ago requires the 3c59x and other drivers to be reworked. The 3c59x driver hasn't been reworked yet, however, so it's still broken. The patch I posted fixes the issue for 3c59x, but is unnacceptable upstream because it disables irqs for too long.

Basically this means that the driver is currently broken, and no simple patch will fix it. Because of this, I am moving the bug to the Won't Fix state as we don't have the ability to deviate from upstream and try to fix this ourselves in Ubuntu. The best solution to get this issue resolved is to open a bug upstream at bugzilla.kernel.org.

Ok !

It appears that this may have been fixed upstream. Please see:
