[intrepid] Kernel hangs at boot: Loading hardware drivers

[feffemannen]

When booting my Dell Latitude D620 the kernel (2.6.27.7.10) hangs (needs a power-off to come alive again) every so often at the "Loading hardware drivers". It happens approximately every second boot.
I'm running a newly installed Ubuntu 8.10, which is updated.

Hi feffemannen,

This sounds possibly a duplicate of bug 263059 . Care to test the 2.6.27-7.12 kernel which resolved that bug. Thanks.

Hi!

Indeed it's a duplicate and indeed it seems to work with the new kernel. Many thanks!!!
