computer cannot boot with linux-image-2.6.35-*

[Pierre Meurisse]

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.35-25-generic

on booting with a 2.6.35, machine freezes at the very beginning with message :

ubuntu 2.6.35 : EISA : Cannot allocate resource for mainboard
                       Cannot allocate resource for EISA slot 1
                       ...
                EISA : Detected 0 cards

Then I can only power down.

The machine boots all right with a 2.6.32.

This is a 32bit ubuntu on a x86-64 machine ; I tried a 64 version too with a live CD, which wouldn't boot either

I do as asked uname -a ... , but of course with the 2.6.32 and not the faulty 2.6.35

I forgot some more lines after EISA : Detected 0 cards :

cpuidle : Using governor ladder
cpuidle : Using governor menu
TCP cubic registered
Net : Registered protocol family 10
lo : Disabled Privacy Extensions
Net : Registered protocol family 17
Using IPI No-Shortcut mode
registered taskstats version 1

and then freeze

sorry.

I'm using debian sid on the same machine too.

linux-image-2.6.37-1-amd64 just came into sid.
It works all right on my machine.

Cheers.

There have been several updates to the linux-lts-backport-maverick kernel. Does this issue still exist on the version that is currently in -proposed? That version is 2.6.35-28.50~lucid1.

[Expired for linux-lts-backport-maverick (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

I upgraded to natty ; same bug with 2.6.38.

2.6.35 and 2.6.38 work with 'acpi=off'
