In Report #216159 I reported that that Kardy kernels -15 and -16 caused problems for my E2160 with its Zarlink MT352 DBV-T (Aver A777) PCI card identified as the likely cause, the card being happier with -12 and perfectly happy with 7.10's kernel.
Now, Release Candidate 8.04 won't even install or run a LiveCD session on my E2160/Zarlink rig, let alone raise a HAL initialization failure. So, in view of Ripps818 comment, I will next try Release Candidate installation on my 3.0GHz Nothwood rig, with and without its USB2 DibCom tuner attached before trying it out on a 'work in progress' E4600 rig which has NO tuner module (yet) and then report back. (But first I'll add a comment to Bug Report #217726.) -- Failed to initalize HAL. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/25931 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
