Feisty halts while loading OS

[Casey Hendley]

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.20

After upgrading to 7.04 from 6.10 last night, the system began to hang when the Feisty bootsplash displayed (kernel 2.6.20-9). 2.6.17-10 and -11 remain in the bootloader list, but -11 went into kernel panic and -10 hung the same as 2.6.20-9.

This evening, I have been able to boot into both recovery mode and the full OS in 2.6.17-10, with networking support (Ralink chipset, not supported by stock Edgy). Kernel 2.6.20-9, however, continues to hang at the bootsplash and halts in recovery mode.

Included below are two screenshots (taken via digital camera) of the point where Feisty simply stops loading the operating system:

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!
