I also have this problem - I have tested it with two different versions of the GA-PCV2 motherboard, one with the VIA Samuel 2 800 MHz processor (GA-PCV2 CSI-SI) and one with the VIA Nehemiah 1.0 GHz processor (GA- PCV2 DSI-ID). Otherwise, the boards are identical. I successfully installed 8.10 on the board with the Samuel 2 processor and it works fine - no issues at all. If I swap the hard drive over to the board with the Nehemiah processor, it hangs as soon as Xorg starts up. Before that point, I can call up a command prompt and log in using ctrl-alt-F1. The Nehemiah based motherboard works fine with a Windows XP install.
It appears that something in Xorg doesn't like the Nehemiah processor. Also during install, if I press ctrl-alt-F1 and watch the processes as they start up, it always hangs just before hald completes. -- hardy and intrepid beta cause system hang before login screen on ga pcv2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/287013 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
