[Bug 343268] Re: linux 2.6.28 doesn't boot for recent processors with XSCALE

[gabi.y3k]

Hello everybody,

I am also currently experiencing problems with Ubuntu 9.04 on my desktop
PC.

My PC configuration is as follows:

Motherboard: Asus P5VD2-MX
CPU: Pentium D 820 2.8 GHz
RAM: 2 x 1GB Kingmax (not dual-channel, MB does not support it)
Video: GeForce 9600GT
HDD: 1 WD 250GB P-ATA (IDE) & 1 Seagate 320GB S-ATA (My Ubuntu OS is installed on WD)
DVD writer: Samsung SH-S182D

Further details can be found in the attachment.

In november 2007 I installed Ubuntu 7.10. Since then, I have been
upgrading with every new stable release of Ubuntu. Currently I am
running the latest (Ubuntu 9.04), but I am not able to boot from GRUB
the new kernel version 2.6.28. It just hangs saying "Loading, please
wait...". I can boot Ubuntu 9.04 using the old kernel version left
behind from Ubuntu 8.10 (2.6.27-11-generic).

-------------------------------------------------------------------

I also downloaded the ISO of Ubuntu 9.04 from ubuntu.com. MD5 turned out
OK. I put the ISO on my 4GB USB memory stick using Unetbootin. When I
boot from it, after selecting "Try Ubuntu without ony change to your
computer" from the menu, it also hangs saying "Loading, please wait..."

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Today, I received in my mailbox the Ubuntu 9.04 CD I ordered from
ShipIt. I put it in my DVD writer, boot from it, and this too also hangs
after selecting "Try Ubuntu without ony change to your computer" from
the menu.


>From the behaviors described above, I can only conclude that there must be some kind of incompatibility between my hardware and the new kernel (2.6.28) in Ubuntu 9.04.
