Hi Christopher,

Tried several options in the timeslot I had at that pc yesterday, sadly
without any success to update the bios at the moment.

In a few weeks time I hope to be back at that machine and will try wine,
but as it is not the ideal way forward I would need a backup solution if
it damages the bios.

The pc is never in heavy processing involved, but it is many hours per
week powered-on and on-line. Any suggestion for a new stable platform
where I could put in the IDE-harddisk and it keeps working? Naturally
one of the next steps will be to update the hard-disk to an sata one,
but usually I'm on limited time to work on that pc. Therefore I need to
be able to work it in stages.

Many thanks in advance!

Title:
  Kernel 3.2.0-91-generic "end trace" boot failure

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi All,

  On this computer we recently updated to the 3.2.0-91-generic version,
  but it failed to start with a list of errors. Always ending in
  something with "end trace".

  The computer uses:
  -- Description:	Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS
  -- Release:	        12.04

  Depending on the devices and network cables the errors changed, but
  always failed to properly boot.

  Also we are not able to change the bootoptions of grub, because when
  pressing keyboard keys no responses where captured by the grub
  software. The only keys pressed that where processed by grub where
  just before the load of the grub bootoption screen.

  Work around:
  -- use Ubuntu boot cd/dvd and fire up a temp Ubuntu environment
  -- remove 3.2.0-91-generic components from boot folder
  -- copy previous version (in my case 3.2.0-90-generic) of the components to a 3.2.0-91-generic naming and Ubuntu starts up again fine

  Hope you can fix it soon, because more people are likely to get stuck! And may have not my inside knowledge
