This is sounding very similar to the problems I'm encountering in bug 499399. I can't boot a Lucid install unless I use the Karmic kernel. If I try a Lucid kernel (or other Ubuntu mainline kernel >= 2.6.32) I get boot messages like those in Paul van Genderen's message above, stopping at the same point. It makes no difference whether it's command-line only or a full install.
Removing Plymouth didn't achieve anything useful. In my case, lspci shows: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. CN896/VN896/P4M900 [Chrome 9 HC] (rev 01) Not the same, but similar? I don't have an add-on graphics board to test with. I can boot other distros which use the 2.6.32 kernel. I conclude therefore that it's not the 2.6.32 kernel per se, but something in the way in which the Ubuntu versions are configured. -- VIA KM400: Black screen after boot, no text console possible https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/518623 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
