I've been able to access the hidden menu in grub2 and successfully boot the previous kernel, 2.6.31-21, without issue. I am currently using that kernel now and have configured grub2 to always boot that. Kernel 2.6.32-21 (also apparently the one used on the 10.4 cd), however, locks up on the splash screen. The following isn't a permanent fix, obviously, but may help those with bricked x40's like mine: (1) Press ESC during boot to get the hidden boot menu in grub2 (grub2 boots directly into the current selection without a menu by default) (2) select 2.6.31-21, assuming it's available (it was for me, but I upgraded from 9.10), (3) assuming you can get in, sudo vi /etc/default/grub and add/change the following: GRUB_DEFAULT=saved GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true
Then, sudo update-grub. That should cause grub2 to save the last selected menu option as the default so that, basically, you boot into the last known good (successful) kernel. Not a solution for this bug, just a work-around for now. -- 10.04b with 2.6.32-21 locks hard on startx on Thinkpad X40 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/567914 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
