I'm having what might be a related problem on a hybrid laptop using ironhide: I can load the nvidia-current module in kernel 3.0.0-12 (amd64) but not in 3.0.0-13 or 3.1.
When I try to modprobe the nvidia-current module on the 3.0.0-13 and 3.1 kernels, the nvidia module reports: Can't find an IRQ for your NVIDIA card! NVRM: Please check your BIOS settings. NVRM: [Plug & Play OS] should be set to NO NVRM: [Assign IRQ to VGA] should be set to YES and of course this is a laptop with a BIOS that doesn't give you any control over the IRQ assignment. lspci reports "Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11" for the nvidia card, so it does appear that BIOS is allocating an IRQ. According to lspci, the Intel GPU also is using IRQ 11. I tried the Ubuntu 3.1 weekly build kernel, but it crashes badly with a NULL pointer deference when I try to modprobe the nvidia module. I even tried a complete reinstall but I get the same problem. Note that I used to be able to load the nvidia module into the 3.1 kernel until very recently, so were there any recent updates to initramfs that might be causing this? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/880476 Title: after update to kernel 3.0.0-13 ubuntu 11.10 does not start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/880476/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
