Public bug reported: During installation of Ubuntu 10.04 (x86) on any Dell SC440 with an addon PCI video card, boot up will freeze. The kernel parameter "vga=791" allows the installation to complete.
On first boot, Ubuntu 10.04 freezes about 8 seconds into boot process with black screen. Kernel parameters vga=791, text, nomodeset do not allow kernel to boot and result in no visible kernel debug output. This behavior is seen with any Dell SC440 and either ATI Radeon and NVidia addon PCI video cards. An attempt to boot 2.6.33-02063303-generic, http://kernel.ubuntu.com /~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.33.3-lucid/, was successful. It left me at the text console login prompt. Running "startx" was also successful. Another attempt with 2.6.34-020634rc7 was unsuccessful and behaved similar to the stock Ubuntu 10.04 kernel. How can I provide kernel debug output? I can't see it. Will I need to dump kernel output to the serial port? ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- lucid freezes on Dell SC440 with addon video card https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/582414 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
