If it's freezing after the "loading ramdisk" line, then it's not related to swap. That's way too early for swap to be having an effect. http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/9100 I also see this bug very often and work around it simply by turning off the machine for 5 minutes and trying again. Here are my findings so far: - nothing is output from the kernel on the serial console, so it is a very early freeze from the kernel standpoint - the serial console does show a newline character *after* the "loading ramdisk" line, which seems to indicate that the ramdisk does load correctly and the crash is triggered by something that happens after - the OFW frame key does not cause the debugger to start - waiting a few minutes does seem to increase success rate - I have had very little success with on,off,on,off,on,off type cycles, but if you insert a few minutes wait inbetween then it does feel to be more likely to boot - once booted, you can reboot indefinitely and it won't hang - I discount reports that this is related to external devices, swap partitions, etc. I run my XOs with the standard configuration and no external devices and I frequently see this bug - I've seen this ever since we upgraded kernel after 8.2 - the 8.2 kernels continue to work fine Daniel _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
