karmic hangs during booting

[aloctavodia]

after upgrading from Jaunty to Karmic alpha4 the boot process hangs. I am able to see usplash. the bar progress until is almost finished and then the system switch to a terminal-like screen (that give details of the booting process). The two last sentences are (and the system hangs)

Running DKMS autoinstallation service for kernel 2.6.31.6-generic [OK]
Starting Samba demon. (or something similar)

Removing samba fix the problem.

A workaround (without removing samba) is to boot in recovery mode, then choose netroot. exit netroot and select resume normal mode.

Obviously i don´t get any idea about the source of this problem or why the workaround works...

I have a vostro 1400, Intel 965 GMA and I´m running the amd64 version.

I realize that the system can boot normally if samba is completely removed from the system

If possible you could attach the /var/log/samba/smbd.log when this happens.

Thanks

Hi Chuck, I'm attaching the file you ask for.

As i say before i decided to remove samba in order to properly boot. So to generate the attached file I proced to re-install samba, I could check that the workaround is not working anymore, now is not posible to boot with samba installed.

thanks,

I hope you find this info useful.

I have the same issue,

i cant boot with installed samba. But right after installing its working as it should and i can acess my shared folders from other computer. When it freezes during the boot prcess, i can switch to tty6, and when i do samba status it shows that nmbd is running but smbd couldnt find PID or something like that. I tried to stop samba and restart again, but the output message isnt changing, only a samba remove helps.

I forgot to mention that my log files looking exactly the same as uploaded by aloctavodia

Sorry for another edit, my comp is 32 bit karmic, latest updates, notebook, core duo, 32 bit, ati x1400.

On my other comp I have no problems with samba. Its a 64 bit Karmic, latest updates and it has the same samba config file as the other computer, so its not a config problem.
