Public bug reported: Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.17-10-generic
When booting the system in about 70% of the cases the system locks up during the boot up splash screen. If I switch to text console (F1) before the lockup occures it will show the following: [17179605.640000] BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0! No reaction after that. But as mentioned, there are chances that it comes up just fine. I'm using linux-image-2.6.17-10-generic (which is a dependency of linux-686-smp). The lockup occured definitely with 2.6.17-8 and later. 2.6.17-7 seems to come up fine. The computer is a Samsung Notebook R65 with Intel Pentium M Core Duo T2300. vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 14 model name : Genuine Intel(R) CPU T2300 @ 1.66GHz stepping : 8 cpu MHz : 1000.000 cache size : 2048 KB ** Affects: linux-source-2.6.17 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- CPU soft lockup during bootup https://launchpad.net/bugs/63418 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
