The 9.04 server which I installed fresh from CD become unbootable when I
added the following modules to /etc/modules:
padlock_sha
padlock_aes
via_rng
These worked fine on 8.10, and I assume that they were the reason why
the original update failed, too, as they were present on the upgraded
image.
I can confirm that reinstalling from CD produced a working 9.04 setup on
my VIA EPIA EN board as well.
So only the update goes AWOL.
I can live with that. Thanks for the Ubuntu team for another great
package!
PS: for antoiner:
I have that message too and tells me that my system is at -273
Updated one laptop from 8.10 to 9.04 yesterday. A moment ago I noticed
huge CPU usage on system monitor.
odt2txt was traversing a big directory tree. Parent process number was
1. I am pretty sure I have not used any OO tools since last restart.

odt2txt starts automaticly, using 23% cpu
I see the same kind of symptoms with the server version on VIA EPIA EN
board.
Worked flawlessly with 8.10, update went without errors, now at boot,
the system stops at row:
Loading manual drivers...
It does not crash, just sits there forever. I have a TrendNet KVM
switch that causes harmless
Does this mean that the BIOS upgrade fixed your problems?
Yes, it does.
My working assumption (read: guess, based on observed behavior) is that
the available steps are read through some BIOS calls, and when your CPU
is newer than your BIOS, the data is incomplete and Speedstep can't
therefore
I have to pull back my earlier astonishment a bit:
I upgraded the BIOS on the system, and now Speedstep is back.
So ignore the rant-ish above. Clearly there are deeper issues than just
Linux kernel at play...

Could anyone please explain what happened to this bug, and why?
This problem occurs with NON-overclocked Core 2 Duo 8500 (3.16 GHz) on a
stock Intel board that does not even support overclocking in the first
place.
Just updating the CPU to a spiffier one (on fully-patched Hardy Heron
x86)
I went back to 8.10, and looks like my memory of running this OK on 8.10
false, it was 8.04 with a patched kernel.
On 8.10 I get the same error message as I got with Jaunty Alpha 2, but
it looks like it does not matter after all: what is needed is to
activate the following line in
Addendum to previous note:
Got myself a working system by doing the following steps via another
computer (moving the memory stick over and editing its contents):
Removing S30gdm in /etc/rc2.d
Adding the following lines to rc.local:

This uses VIA C7 CPU that has the VIA Padlock HW random number

Worked ok on 8.10 with the same motherboard.
