Bug Description
Hi,
I will like to report that when I try to boot Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS 32-bit from a hard drive on a system with Diamond Multimedia Speedstar A50 (SiS 6326 AGP 8MB SDRAM, AGP 3.3V) graphics card and Intel D815EAA2 mainboard (Intel 815E chipset), the system will crash during boot in a few seconds.
Floppy disk drive indicator light goes on and stays on.
I won't even see the Ubuntu graphical logo on the screen.
However, if I boot Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS 32-bit from a DVD, then it will boot fine.
I also happened to own a PCI version of SiS 6326 AGP graphics card called Palit AGP6326 graphics card (SiS 6326 AGP, PCI card, 4 MB FPM or EDO DRAM).
This card will boot fine with either DVD boot or hard drive boot.
Based on these results, I suspect there is a bug in either Intel AGP GART device driver or Intel PATA device driver for ICH2 southbridge.
System Configuration 1:
- Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS 32-bit
* All updates issued as of 10/15/2012 have been applied.
- Intel Pentium III 1 GHz
- Intel D815EEA2 mainboard
* BIOS Version P21-0039 (last BIOS release)
* Power -> ACPI -> ACPI: S3 State
* Power -> ACPI -> Video RePOST: Off
- 512 MB PC133 SDRAM
* 256 MB module
* 128 MB module
* 128 MB module
- Diamond Multimedia Speedstar A50 graphics card
* SiS 6236 AGP
* Chip Revision H0
* 3.3V AGP card
* 8 MB SDRAM
* VGA BIOS Version 1.22a
- Gateway EV700 17 inch VGA monitor
- Seagate ST320414A 20 GB PATA hard drive
- Pioneer DVR-105 PATA DVD-RW drive
- Toshiba XM-6402B PATA CD-ROM drive
- PS/2 keyboard
- PS/2 mouse
System Configuration 2:
- Palit 6326AGP graphics card
* SiS 6236 AGP
* Chip Revision H0
* 5V PCI card
* 4 MB FPM or EDO DRAM
* VGA BIOS Version 1.28q
- Other than the graphics card, the system configuration is identical to System Configuration 1.
Note that if I am correct, there are SiS 6326/6326 AGP/6326 DVD.
Both of the graphics card had a SiS 6326 AGP chip even though one of them was a PCI card.

fpgahardwareeng ineer, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please provide the information following https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/DebuggingKe rnelBoot ?
As well, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http:// cdimage. ubuntu. com/daily- live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications- >Accessories- >Terminal) , as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:
apport-collect -p linux <replace- with-bug- number>
Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/KernelMainl ineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the kernel in the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: fixed-upstream fixed-upstream- VERSION- NUMBER
kernel-
kernel-
where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: fixed-upstream- v3.7-rc1- quantal
kernel-
This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: testing
needs-upstream-
If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: bug-exists- upstream bug-exists- upstream- VERSION- NUMBER
kernel-
kernel-
As well, please remove the tag: testing
needs-upstream-
If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags: unable- to-test- upstream unable- to-test- upstream- VERSION- NUMBER
kernel-

Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding.
