Comment 36 for bug 981936

I don't want to install an alpha version on my machine therefore I've
tried with USB boot stick instead using 13.10 and 14.01
(trusty-desktop-i386.iso 04-Jan-2014 07:51 ).

Both fails on exactly the same line when booting without the splash
screen.
"firewire_ohci failed to set power level" and then everything halts -
keyboard unresponsive.

The USB stick boots fine on other machines.

If I add the blacklist=firewire_ohci to the commandline boot it loads a
bit further, but halts later on
it seems like its loading the firewire_ohci disregarding the boot
option. Guess its an USB stick boot "design issue".
Since I cant boot from the stick, I cant run the apport command. Cant
you use the original attached apport ?. My hardware hasn't changed.

As long as the kernel issue remains unfixed I don't see how newer
versions of ubuntu could fix this ?.

I think Rob Allan did a bisect and found a pretty precise commit in the
3.1.0-rc2 & 3.1.0-rc3 kernel that caused the issue.
Some firewire "refactoring".

It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. 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:
