Hi Christopher. I was unable to test the Saucy images and the latest mainline kernel, as they refuse to boot/install on the Amilo due to lack of PAE support.
jani@kingugidora:~$ LC_ALL=C sudo dpkg --install linux-image-3.11.0-031100rc6-generic_3.11.0-031100rc6.201308181835_i386.deb (Reading database ... 818498 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking linux-image-3.11.0-031100rc6-generic (from linux-image-3.11.0-031100rc6-generic_3.11.0-031100rc6.201308181835_i386.deb) ... This kernel does not support a non-PAE CPU. dpkg: error processing linux-image-3.11.0-031100rc6-generic_3.11.0-031100rc6.201308181835_i386.deb (--install): subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 Examining /etc/kernel/postrm.d . run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postrm.d/initramfs-tools 3.11.0-031100rc6-generic /boot/vmlinuz-3.11.0-031100rc6-generic run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postrm.d/zz-update-grub 3.11.0-031100rc6-generic /boot/vmlinuz-3.11.0-031100rc6-generic Errors were encountered while processing: linux-image-3.11.0-031100rc6-generic_3.11.0-031100rc6.201308181835_i386.deb I guess the only (unimportant) question remaining is how come I was able to boot -pae kernels on this very same device back in the pre-release times (3.2.0-[<23]) - perhaps those earlier kernels didn't properly detect the lack of PAE? The wireless now (with the current 3.2.0-52-generic #78-Ubuntu) seems to somehow work without wistron_btns. I'm not sure how to deal with the tags & bug status in this case, so I'll leave it to your discretion. If you have further ideas to test, I'll be happy to provide, but closing this report (perhaps as 'Invalid') is also fine by me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/926012 Title: With a -pae kernel, freeze during boot when wistron_btns loaded Status in The Linux Kernel: Confirmed Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: With my Amilo M7400 and the recent Precise kernels (at least 3.2.0-[10-12] I think), the system freezes during boot with the Ubuntu logo and colored dots on screen (the dots stop progressing), when I have wistron_btns enabled in /etc/modules. I need wistron_btns on this laptop for the wireless to work, which is why I'd like to have it enabled. This is unrelated to Bug #926007 which I also just filed: the wistron_btns freeze happens even when I'm using fbdev. (With -intel, the #926007 panic and this freeze take turns in who gets to mess with me.) From what I've gathered so far, it seems that wistron_btns works fine if I manually modprobe it from my desktop, after booting without it. So that's a workaround at least. I can kill the freeze with Alt+PrtSc+REISUB. I'll provide any additional info needed, though I don't know how to produce logs when the system is frozen.
