Unfortunately I am running 8.04 and I don't know how to upgrade the kernel to anything newer than 2.6.24-21...
Also, I will be unavailable for most of September so I am unable to test Alpha 5 when it becomes available. When I am able to try it, I will. Here's a recap with the most relevant info about the issue, and some recently discovered details: - I have a laptop with a Celeron M (non-SpeedStep cpu) - Boot freezes for anything between 0.3 and 60 seconds, partly random, partly affected by if boot splash enabled or not, kernel version, etc, etc - Issue can be successfully worked around by adding "clocksource=hpet" to the boot parameters. Ubuntu 8.04, both with installed & updated system and with LiveCD: - Very early in the boot process: "tsc clocksource has been installed" - Immediately after the freeze, these two messages are displayed: "tsc clocksource is unstable (delta [time of delay] ns)" "hpet clocksource has been installed" In 8.10 Alpha 4 (kernel 2.6.26), only tried LiveCD: - After freeze, there is only: "tsc clocksource is unstable (delta [time of delay] ns)" - There are no "xxxxx has been installed" (neither tsc nor hpet) -- the message seems to have been hidden/removed. -- "Waiting for root file system" delay https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/247717 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
