Boot hangs after update to kernel 2.6.32-20

[miegiel]

Bug reported while running 2.6.32-19 which runs fine.

For a screenshot where the boot hangs see : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9109496#post9109496
It's not identical but verry similar to my screen which ends with :

Also running an Acer timeline with slightly different hardware 5810t and have the same problem after updating kernels.

The posted screenshot is from my machine. Running -19 fine.

IBM Thinkpad A31 here doing the same thing

[miegiel (nix-miegiel)]

On the ubuntu forum someone with a Compaq Pesario CQ60 had the bug too, while someone else had no problem at all. Maybe it's laptops (or some laptops) with the "82801I (ICH9 Family)" chipset.

'sudo lshw -short' should tell you what you have.

I also received a kernel freeze, on USB driver recognition. I am using a MBP (5,4), under Lucid Beta 2, and received the following in dmesg:

Regarding bridge type/chipset, I'm running the Nvidia MCP79.

[gilson585 (gilson585)]

This machine is quite old and is only 32bit. It uses the Intel 845 chipset + I do not have the pae kernel just the generic kernel.

[Virgil Brummond (uraharakisuke153)]

I can confirm this as well. My machine (Asus k50ij Laptop) hangs while booting the .20 kernel. .19 works fine, using it right now. I could not find anything relevant in the system logs.

[Cory Flick (flicck)]

I can also confirm this. I'm running 64 bit Lucid Beta 2, fresh install and just updated. Kernel 2.6.32-20 hangs during boot, rebooting and selecting 2.6.32-19 kernel brings up the system just fine. Machine is an Asus K60 notebook.

...but it doesn't happen for a 32-bit install within VirtualBox. guess this means it's hardware-dependant?

Same Problem Dell D630 - 64 bit but i can't safe mode or boot with the 2.6.31-19.

[Greg Eden (grege)]

I have same problem with my Dell 11z - similar chipset to the Acer notebooks above - Intel ULV, GMA4500 and Broadcom WiFi.

I reinstalled beta 2 as a clean install and updated and got back to the same problem. Same using Kubuntu. Switch back to 19 and all runs fine.

I have three other desktops that are using 2.6.32-20 without problem.

Getting this too with Toshiba NB100 netbook. Couldn't even get the grub menu to choose another kernel.
Is getting stuck where it detects USB devices.

FWIW -- I compiled the latest linux kernel from yesterday's git, 2.6.34 something, without Ubuntu patches, and the problem persists there.

Same problem, ACER 5740 (core i3). Works fine with .19 kernel.

[Michael Tinsay (tinsami1)]

Similar problem with #27 above. I have an Acer Aspire 4315 laptop. Boot hangs for a while at detecting partitions in /dev/sda -- some times it sees sda1, some times not, but it cannot see sda2 everytime which is my root partition. After a while, I get dropped into a busybox session. I've had 10.04 installed in this laptop since Alpha 2 and this is the first time I have encountered such a problem.

[Dean (morningching)]

Acer aspire 4710 doesn't boot with kernel 2.6.32-20.

[Lio (ekinox)]

Same on a Macbook 5.1, roll back to 32-19

[Eugene San (eugenesan)]

Linux actually panics and print trace and never reaches root mount.

Previous observation might be incorrect since Linux continues to handle events (as SCSI and USB insertions) while scrollling trace output.

I can observe only tail of trace:
EIP: is at acpi_ex_read_data_from_field+0x131/0x168 SS:ESP 0068:f70ddd70

With acpi=off there is no trace or panic, boot progress a little more but dies later, maybe because I I boot from USB :-(

[miegiel (nix-miegiel)]

I just managed to boot with acpi=off. Though, if you can, booting the old kernel is a better option.

I really would like to know what more info I can give, since the bug was reported while running 2.6.32-19 and I assume not all the relevant stuff is in the report.

Last point; I think we have enough "me too" comments ;-) It seems, though it doesn't affect everyone, it is pretty wide spread. just hit the "This bug affects XX persons. Does this bug affect you?" link at the top.
