cannot start-up Ubuntu/Kubuntu live CD 8.04

[gerard]

Hello

On my Desktop PC, I cannot start Ubuntu 8.04 nor Kubuntu 8.04.

It's not a problem of these CD-ROMs because they work on my HP-Compaq 6510b, nor my CD reader because it works for reading and burning CD/DVD.

Here is the result of lshw, and then I attached a screenshot of Ubuntu and Kubuntu of yesterday's daily (4 May 2008)

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo lshw

Still the same with yesterday's version: May 15th 2008

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage . I have classified this bug as a bug in linux the Launchpad package for the kernel in Hardy Heron.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

Could you please add the log file caper.log from the Live CD so we can better determine the cause of the bug? Thanks in advance.

[gerard (zzking)]

yes w/ pleasure, but how come? I'm blocked on a list of I/O faults?

Any suggestion?

[gerard (zzking)]

Hi

Actually, the terminal finally stopped on: (initramfs)
I typed: caper.log
answer: /bin/sh: caper.log not found

[Sergio Barjola (sbarjola)]

Can you test if the file is at /var/log/installer/ with "cat /var/log/installer/caper.log" ? Thanks.

[Sergio Barjola (sbarjola)]

excuse me, /var/log/installer/casper.log

[gerard (zzking)]

Hello Sergio

sorry myself but
/var/log/installer/casper.log
nor
cat /var/log/installer/casper.log
work??? don't know what to do?

[Sergio Barjola (sbarjola)]

my mistake,.. /var/log/casper.log

[gerard (zzking)]

Same Sergio, can't get through!!

[Sergio Barjola (sbarjola)]

this bug seems related with bug 97306. Please, can you read it so you can found something that can help you ?

[gerard (zzking)]

Sure I'll do it, Thx sergio

[Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara)]

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

Thanks for the feedback Gerard. This does sound promising. I'm going to tentatively mark this "Fix Released" for Intrepid. Obviously feel free to reopen this report by setting the status back to "New" if you see any regressions with this issue. Thanks.

[gerard (zzking)]

That's the best to do Leann.

Have a nice day
