always stop booting with newest kernels

[tdelaho]

- Ubuntu release : 8.04

The newest kernels always stop booting.
2.6.20-16-generic is fine, but no other of the newest listed by Grub will work on my PC.
In safe mode, I get no error message, but it stops on the following step : "io scheduler cfq registred".

Since I registered with Launchpad on this very computer, I asume you have the requiered information about my hardware.
- Intel Core 2 Duo
- Grafics : ATI Card

I do not know how to get more information about my hardware.

Thanks.

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

I installed package http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-2.6.27-1-generic_2.6.27-1.2_i386.deb.
Still experiencing the same problem. I report it with name 'linux-2.6.27', even if it is not a new bug.

Many Thanks!!

Actually, I did not installed the right one.
with package http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-2.6.27-2-generic_2.6.27-2.3_i386.deb, the booting process unfolds successfully.

That bug is fixed !
Bravo guys.
