apport information ** Tags added: apport-collected precise running-unity
** Description changed: I've been using Ubuntu 12.04 on my desktop for a number of years now. When I installed it, I had to pass the kernel option acpi=off in order to get it to boot correctly, both from the live CD and after installation. Otherwise, it has worked well (obviously, without ACPI features being present). I am now trying to install my OS from scratch, and am attempting to do so with 14.04. However, I have been completely unable to get the system to boot into the installer without freezing or rebooting. I have tried the kernel options nolapic, noapic, acpi=off, acpi=ht, and irqpoll, in a large number of combination, and both with a BIOS and UEFI boot. I also flashed my BIOS to the latest firmware, which seems to have made the boot process last a bit longer before freeze/reboot, but given that I never timed it, that's a very non-scientific assessment. I've tried booting with Debian, Fedora, and ArchLinux disks as well, all to no avail, so I do not believe this is an Ubuntu-specific issue. It seems that there's been some kernel level change since 12.04 causing issues. I'm hoping that there's some workaround or kernel boot option to be passed in. I'm not certain what the most useful information to provide is. Since I'm currently running from Ubuntu 12.04, I can run any command that OS supports to provide you with more system information. In case it's useful, I've attached the output of dmidecode. My motherboard is an MSI H77MA-G43. + --- + AcpiTables: + + AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version k3.8.0-44-generic. + ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu17.8 + Architecture: amd64 + AudioDevicesInUse: + USER PID ACCESS COMMAND + /dev/snd/controlC1: ubuntu 2516 F.... pulseaudio + /dev/snd/controlC2: ubuntu 2516 F.... pulseaudio + /dev/snd/controlC0: ubuntu 2516 F.... pulseaudio + CRDA: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory + Card0.Amixer.info: + Card hw:0 'PCH'/'HDA Intel PCH at 0xf7210000 irq 44' + Mixer name : 'Realtek ALC892' + Components : 'HDA:10ec0892,1462d756,00100302' + Controls : 42 + Simple ctrls : 19 + Card1.Amixer.info: + Card hw:1 'NVidia'/'HDA NVidia at 0xf7080000 irq 17' + Mixer name : 'Nvidia GPU 0b HDMI/DP' + Components : 'HDA:10de000b,10de0101,00100200' + Controls : 28 + Simple ctrls : 4 + Card2.Amixer.info: + Card hw:2 'U0x46d0x81b'/'USB Device 0x46d:0x81b at usb-0000:00:1a.0-1.2, high speed' + Mixer name : 'USB Mixer' + Components : 'USB046d:081b' + Controls : 2 + Simple ctrls : 1 + Card2.Amixer.values: + Simple mixer control 'Mic',0 + Capabilities: cvolume cvolume-joined cswitch cswitch-joined penum + Capture channels: Mono + Limits: Capture 0 - 16 + Mono: Capture 10 [62%] [21.00dB] [on] + DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 + HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=76e7564e-2c94-4f29-ab80-9f499ae77547 + InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20130820.1) + IwConfig: + eth0 no wireless extensions. + + lo no wireless extensions. + + docker0 no wireless extensions. + MachineType: MSI MS-7756 + MarkForUpload: True + NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia + Package: linux (not installed) + ProcEnviron: + TERM=xterm + PATH=(custom, no user) + LANG=en_US.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash + ProcFB: + + ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.8.0-44-generic root=UUID=f89efcde-9628-45b8-a2c8-244ff8360805 ro quiet splash acpi=off + ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.8.0-44.66~precise1-generic 3.8.13.25 + RelatedPackageVersions: + linux-restricted-modules-3.8.0-44-generic N/A + linux-backports-modules-3.8.0-44-generic N/A + linux-firmware 1.79.18 + RfKill: + + Tags: precise running-unity + Uname: Linux 3.8.0-44-generic x86_64 + UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) + UserGroups: adm cdrom dip docker lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo vboxusers + dmi.bios.date: 10/29/2013 + dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. + dmi.bios.version: V1.13 + dmi.board.asset.tag: To be filled by O.E.M. + dmi.board.name: H77MA-G43 (MS-7756) + dmi.board.vendor: MSI + dmi.board.version: 1.0 + dmi.chassis.asset.tag: To Be Filled By O.E.M. + dmi.chassis.type: 3 + dmi.chassis.vendor: MSI + dmi.chassis.version: 1.0 + dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvrV1.13:bd10/29/2013:svnMSI:pnMS-7756:pvr1.0:rvnMSI:rnH77MA-G43(MS-7756):rvr1.0:cvnMSI:ct3:cvr1.0: + dmi.product.name: MS-7756 + dmi.product.version: 1.0 + dmi.sys.vendor: MSI ** Attachment added: "AlsaDevices.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1424526/+attachment/4325265/+files/AlsaDevices.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1424526 Title: Unable to boot from installation media To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1424526/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
