I don't think this was a fluke. Reading the description and the symptoms this seems exactly what we have been experiencing on three of our HP DL380 G6 servers. These three server are identical (modulo disk capacity) and serve as our test beds for Ubuntu Server 10.04 (freshly installed as of yesterday). After a standard upgrade (using aptitude) to the new linux- image-2.6.32-22-server package, which was the only package upgraded, the system would almost always hang during the boot sequence after displaying the messages about fsck/filesystem health:
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 /dev/mapper/TEST02-root: clean, 52298/2924544 files, 458703/11696128 blocks /dev/cciss/c0d0p1: clean, 205/124496 files, 32770/248832 blocks After that it just hangs. We can reboot the server by means of ctrl-alt- delete as well as connect through SSH, interestingly. No getty processes are spawned, so no console login. Also interestingly this doesn't happen on a HL DL120 G5, which has an almost completely different hardware configuration. Virtual machines (KVM-based, using the -virtual flavour) also don't seem affected by this. Reverting back to 2.6.32-21-server (aptitude remove linux- image-2.6.32-22-server) seems to fix the problem. I am pretty certain that the problem lies with the -22-server package as I have tested and reproduced this on three identical servers, as stated above. How can I help debug this further? We still have about one weeks to run experiments and tests on these servers so I'll gladly help where I can. -- kernel 2.6.32-32 makes machine hang during boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576001 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
