I went for the transcribe option though I never wrote everything down. I'll give you what I've got and try and get prepared for photos later. Apologies if that means some of the details are not there as I had to try and write things down as it was booting so accuracy depended on the speed of the booting. I have tried to use my judgement on what might be important.
First attempt: Removing "quiet splash" option only: Seems to go through a full load i.e. reads CD properly and is loading linux, loads many things, gets far as brining up network interfaces and more a few sample lines: [42.406257] SCSI deivce SDA......................... [42.4....] etho: forcedeth.c so would appear to know nForce4? [44.3..........] squashfs version 3.1 yada [97.56......] kernel log does HAL Bluetooth then does local boot scripts and VERY soon after monitor loses signal, tho the CD is continued to be read for a short while and the num lock lights do not flash as before. It kinda feels like linux has in fact loaded it just isn't displaying. For instance, pressing power button does not shutdown machine unless it is held for a few seconds unlike in original bug it was shutting down on immediate press of power button. Second attempt "acpi=off" only reacts exactly as in bug description i.e. blacks screens after vmlinux, no reading of CD, num lock and scroll lock lights flash. Also shuts down immediately after power press i.e. does not need to be held Third attempt "acpi=off" and "quiet splash" removed sample lines: [47.7...] Disabling IRQ #10 /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turnoff initamfs [77.688704] ata2.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xef) [77.628732] ata2.00:failed to set xfer mode (err_mask = 0x4) [113.111750] ata2.00 qc timeout (cmd 0xef) [113.111824] ata2:failed to recover some devices, retrying in 5 secs [118.590998] ata2: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) [148.598802 ata2.00 qc timeout [149.102762] sata_nv 0000:00:08_0 using ADMA mode [149.414688] ata3: SATA link down (SSstatus 0 SControl 300) [149.737645] hdc:ATAPI 40X DVD-ROM DVD-R CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache, UDMA(66) [149.727837] Uniform CD-ROM drive Revision: 3.20 HANGS Hope this helps. I'll try and get photos uploaded but it's a Rugby 6 nations weekend so can't promise anything ;-) Cheers, Alan -- [x86_64] Cannot Install Feisty Fawn Herd 5 - Black Screen https://launchpad.net/bugs/89717 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
