Public bug reported: I upgraded my HP HDX-9120EA laptop from Jaunty to Karmic a few days ago, but it will not boot without editing the grub configuration. It would boot without trouble with Jaunty and I would expect it to do so with Karmic.
Without modifying the grub configuration, the system hangs after the "Ubuntu 9.10, kernel 2.6.31-14-generic" option is chosen (either manually or automatically after the timeout), just after the "starting up" message is displayed on the console. It appears to read both the kernel and initrd images, but then all disk activity stops, but the CPU fan slows (the machine boots with the fan at full speed). I can get the machine to boot the standard Karmic kernel quite happily by removing the "quiet" kernel parameter from the kernel line in the grub configuration for this menu entry. I have tried removing other kernel parameters, entries and options to no effect - it is only the "quiet" kernel parameter that seems to make a difference. If it is of any help, the hardware specifications for the HP HDX-9120EA can be found here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01182666&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=uk&product=3562457&lang=en ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- hp hdx-9120ea hangs at boot after upgrade to karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/470597 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
