I worked with the kernel devs on this a bit. One thing you can try is hitting escape before the computer boots, then hitting the Edit button, then goto the kernel line, edit again, and add pci=nomsi to the command line right after quiet and splash. There is a bug in the bios of some boards based on the SB600 chipset from ATI/AMD in the MSI portion, and disabling MSI can patch over the issue. There should be a fix in the next released kernel for this problem, they're going to blacklist the msi on the SB600 chips at the kernel level.
If your computer boots with this, you'll want to edit your grub menu.lst and add pci=nomsi to it. (you can add it in the comments section where quiet and splash are located, then rebuild your grub menu.lst file.) You should be able to search the wiki for information on rebuilding this. -- BusyBox v1.1.3 starts instead of Ubuntu Hardy (db) Kernel 2.6.24-8-generic via update-manager -d -c Gusty2Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/192796 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
