Costa, Shang helped me fix 2.6.28.15 and then 2.6.28.16 through the update manager presented no problems. However like you when I upgraded to 2.6.31-14 generic the boot failures started up again. cpu soft lock up was the error. So I pulled out that hard drive and threw in number 2 and loaded Linux Mint which is also debian based and uses gnome, synaptic, firefox, and all of the goodies that ubuntu offers plus it loaded all of the needed media codecs, addons, back ports, and drivers with the first update that happened right after I got my internet connection established.
The developers of linux Mint are using a jaunty Kernel but actually are mirroring ubuntu on new releases and updates. I would like to be able to put my old hard drive back in and use ubuntu but I can't until a patch is released. I think that ubuntu developers are so tied up with other problems that this will take a back seat until they get other major problems fixed. Down load a torrent of linux Mint and enjoy as I am now until ubuntu is fixed for us. If Shang could offer any help on getting 2.6.31-14 generic working on our machines I would appreciate it immensely. Dan -- kernel 2.6.28-15-generic for 9.04 will not allow my IBM T30 to boot. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/442364 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
