Title:
  Random boot failures on Compaq Presario R3000 (R3210CA)

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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?
