[Bug 558569] Re: Unable start as live cd Lucid Beta 2

[Leo]

** Description changed:

- Hi,
  
- I tried to launch the latest daily build of Ubuntu Lucid beta 2 on my pc:
- d5c257bb85664afc97d62b04a5994f02 *lucid-desktop-i386.iso  (06-Apr-2010 21:23)
+ Loading kernel viafb makes the computer completely freeze:
  
- but after a few moments since, these lines appeared:
- init: ureadahead-other main process (1095) terminated with status 4
- init: ureadahead-other main process (1096) terminated with status 4
+ - The screen goes black, but not off.
+ - The cooler turns on indefinitely (suggesting strong cpu activity).
+ - The keyboard locks (the user can't even turn on/off capslock or numlock).
  
- then launch crashes.
+ There are two possible workarounds for this:
+ 
+ * With a Live CD, remove "quiet splash" and add "viafb.modeset=0" to the boot options.
+ * Create a Live USB with persisten memory, boot it on another computer and add viafb to the kernel module blacklist.
+ 
+ ----
+ 
+ viafb does not work neither on Karmic nor on Lucid.
+ 
+ However, Lucid Alpha 3, Beta 1, and Beta 2 were loading the module
+ during boot by default, a regression from Karmic (Fix Released)
