Re: [Bug 981936] Re: 1217:00f7 Firewire prevents booting

2014-01-04 Thread Sten Bennetsen
I don't want to install an alpha version on my machine therefore I've
tried with USB boot stick instead using 13.10 and 14.01
(trusty-desktop-i386.iso04-Jan-2014 07:51 ).

Both fails on exactly the same line when booting without the splash
screen.
firewire_ohci failed to set power level and then everything halts -
keyboard unresponsive.

The USB stick boots fine on other machines.

If I add the blacklist=firewire_ohci to the commandline boot it loads a
bit further, but halts later on
it seems like its loading the firewire_ohci disregarding the boot
option. Guess its an USB stick boot design issue.
Since I cant boot from the stick, I cant run the apport command. Cant
you use the original attached apport ?. My hardware hasn't changed.

As long as the kernel issue remains unfixed I don't see how newer
versions of ubuntu could fix this ?.
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43244

I think Rob Allan did a bisect and found a pretty precise commit in the
3.1.0-rc2  3.1.0-rc3 kernel that caused the issue.
Some firewire refactoring.

2012-05-16 Thread Rob Allen
Christopher,

One more thing: I was told that the kernel bug-reporting instructions
you referenced in comment #28 are incorrect. (See the initial discussion
linked from the kernel bug.)

What's the best way to get them updated? Should I simply email the page
author, leannogasawara?

2012-05-16 Thread Rob Allen
Actually *I'm* wrong about the bug reporting instructions being wrong.
They're technically correct, but they seem to imply that one should go
straight to the kernel bugzilla, instead of the kernel mailing lists.

So it might still be useful to emphasise the use of the mailing lists
for bug *reporting*.
