I don't want to install an alpha version on my machine therefore I've tried with USB boot stick instead using 13.10 and 14.01 (trusty-desktop-i386.iso 04-Jan-2014 07:51 ).
Both fails on exactly the same line when booting without the splash screen. "firewire_ohci failed to set power level" and then everything halts - keyboard unresponsive. The USB stick boots fine on other machines. If I add the blacklist=firewire_ohci to the commandline boot it loads a bit further, but halts later on it seems like its loading the firewire_ohci disregarding the boot option. Guess its an USB stick boot "design issue". Since I cant boot from the stick, I cant run the apport command. Cant you use the original attached apport ?. My hardware hasn't changed. As long as the kernel issue remains unfixed I don't see how newer versions of ubuntu could fix this ?. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43244 I think Rob Allan did a bisect and found a pretty precise commit in the 3.1.0-rc2 & 3.1.0-rc3 kernel that caused the issue. Some firewire "refactoring". On Sun, 2013-12-29 at 19:55 +0000, Christopher M. Penalver wrote: > Sten Bennetsen, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been > any activity in it recently.
