[Bug 327499] Re: kernel 2.6.28 doesn't boot on a dell inspiron 2650

 

Tiago Requeijo, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc1

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Triaged => Incomplete

Bug description:
  SRU Justification:

  Impact: The following upstream change
  "ACPI: Attach the ACPI device to the ACPI handle as early as possible"
  caused the Dell Inspiron 2650 not to boot anymore.

  Fix: Upstream revert, which comes in with 2.6.31.6 is supposed to fix
  this.

  Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.28-7-generic

  The boot process stops at the point on the image attached below.  I
  tried with kernels 2.6.28-4 through 2.6.28-7, as well as custom
  compiled 2.6.29-rc3.  None of those boots properly. The 2.6.27 series
  works fine.
