[Bug 1208089] [NEW] Random boot failures on Compaq Presario R3000 (R3210CA)

 

Public bug reported:

I've installed Lubuntu 13.04 on an old Compaq Presario R3000 machine.
Whenever I start the machine, there's a 2 in 3 change (approx.) that
this machine will not boot and either hang with a blank screen right
after the grub menu or hang after adding swap (After the message "Adding
521212k swap on /dev/sda5.  Priority:-1 extents:1 across:521212k").

I actually landed on bug report #903961
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/903961) after
searching for this issue and seeing twice the same issue on askubuntu:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/204905/compaq-presario-r3000-randomly-
fails-to-boot-on-11-10-12-04-12-10 and
http://askubuntu.com/questions/87187/11-10-randomly-fails-to-boot-on-
compaq-presario-r3000. I reopened the bug report, but was asked to file
a new bug report for this issue. So, here it is :)

>From reading the previous bug report, it seems this issue was fixed in
64-bit kernels.

What additional information can I provide?
