Public bug reported: Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.22-14-rt
Fresh installation of Ubuntustudio 7.10 on an ACER Aspire 5102 . The system boots, the Ubuntustudio splash appears. The halts at the same point (even for hours), unless I keep pressing ANY key (even alt or ctrl) until it gets into the graphical interface. Switching to the boot terminal ( Alt+Ctrl+F1 ) I noticed that it waits for me to press any key, in order to proceed one step further in the boot process. The same happens if I shutdown the system. It doesn't shutdown unless I press any key for 2-3 times. I finally found sth similar reported in ubuntuforums ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=448792 ), by another acer 5100 user, and the proposed solution worked. They proposed adding nosmp noapic nolapic as kernel boot parameters in the /boot/grub/menu.lst The problem didn't occur - with the same ubuntustudio version, freshly installed, on my desktop PC. - after downgrading my laptop to the "-generic" kernel ,without any kernel boot option - on an older installation of ubuntu Feisty, on the same laptop. therefore I consider it as a potential bug. ** Affects: ubuntustudio Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: linux-source-2.6.22 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: boot noapic ubuntustudio ** Also affects: ubuntustudio Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.22-14-rt Fresh installation of Ubuntustudio 7.10 on an ACER Aspire 5102 .
