hi, just to post an update here: i have tried booting the intrepid livecd, and it does a completely hard freeze just after showing the desktop and cursor (but before showing the desktop background).
safe graphics mode works fine, though video card is ati mobility radeon 9000 (rv250) 64mb the machine runs feisty just fine, but gutsy, hardy, and now the intrepid livecds all have caused the hard freeze on bootup when using the ati driver, but ran fine in safe graphics mode. i have yet to try the "agpmode" option to see if it makes things any better, will report when i do. but for now just writing to let you know that the problem still persists in the current release of the intrepid livecd. here's a link to the ubuntuforums thread on this same issue, for reference: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6126016#post6126016 -- Freeze with ati driver during boot on 8.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214105 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
