Alex (alex-1992) wrote : Ubuntu 11.10 won't boot without safe mode

Hi!

I have a problem when I try to start Ubuntu 11.10. Ubuntu 11.04 worked fine.

When I try to start Ubuntu this pops up:
http://i.stack.imgur.com/qJJxX.jpg
"[4.629137] phy0 -> rt2800pci_mcu_status: Error - mcu request failed, no response from hardware" usually pops up there too.

I have no problems if I start Ubuntu in safe mode. Everything works is safe mode(i think).

First I tried to upgrade 11.04 to 11.10, then I got this error. Then I removed the broken 11.10 installation and installed 11.10. I still can't boot without using safe mode. I have no problems on my laptop.

I've tried the suggestions posted here:

System specs:
CPU: i7-2600k
Memory: Corsair vengeance 16GB
Motherboard: Asus P8P67 PRO REV 3.0
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560 Ti SOC
Disks: Corsair Force GT and two 1 TB drives for storage.
Dualbooting with Windows 7 Ultimate.

I'm not sure if Xorg is the right package for this, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Any ideas?
