I compiled my kernel according to the guide at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild. It says I need to clone from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git. When I build the kernel with the following commands and install the compiled deb, it works. I can access the text console for 10+ boots in a row so far.
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git cd linux git checkout v2.6.35-rc2 yes '' | make oldconfig make clean make -j4 deb-pkg sudo dpkg --install ../linux-image-2.6.35-rc2_2.6.35-rc2-1_amd64.deb <-- the name is different every time However, if I replace the ".config" file with /boot/config-2.6.35-020635rc2-generic then compile it again and install the compiled deb, it panics every time I turn on the machine. It will boot if I use "linux- image-2.6.35-020635rc2-generic_2.6.35-020635rc2_amd64.deb" provided by the mainline kernel ppa. But the text console cannot be accessed occasionally. I did not do any modifications beyond that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/734996 Title: [Dell Vostro 3400] Cannot access the text console.
