Bug Description
When installing Feisty herd 4 from i386 alternate CD on a Gigabyte GA-965G-DS3 motherboard, the process stalls on the following step:
Detecting disks and all other hardware
Loading module 'via82cxxx' for 'IDE chipset support'...
Reproduction steps:
1. Install Feisty herd 4 from i386 alternate CD
2. Answer the following questions: Language, Country, Keyboard,
Expected result:
The installation process should then process to ask more questions like Partition and so forth.
Actual result:
The installation process stalls for a long time with the message "Trying to enable the frame buffer" on a black background before prompting for the language. The process also stalls for a long time while detecting hardware to find CD-ROM drives. Then, it seems to stall forever with the message "Loading module 'via82cxxx' for 'IDE chipset support'...
As suggested in bug #80503, I tried installing Feisty herd 4 with the pci=nommconf kernel option. However, that seems to prevent detection of the IDE controller and I am prompted to select a controller from a list of drivers. Which one should I select?
Unfortunately, the networking is not enable this early in the installation process so I cannot retrieve the syslog from the machine. However, I can tell you that the last lines of the syslog consist of the following:
hw-detect: insmod /lib/modules/
init: Starting pid 3118, console /dev/vc/2: 'bin/sh'

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this bug to the new "linux" package. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http:// www.ubuntu. com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!
