[Bug 467431] Re: Karmic 64-bit CD does not boot on AMD 64 x2 System

 

jesbecker, 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, as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available (the one all the way at the top, and 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-3.15-rc8

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.

Title:
  Karmic 64-bit CD does not boot on AMD 64 x2 System

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I am unable to boot either the live or alternate 64-bit Karmic CD on
  systems with AMD 64 x2 5800 processor. With either CD, I get to the
  menu, however, after starting to boot in install mode I get a blank
  screen with a blinking cursor.

  It appears to lockup right before the expected white ubuntu logo would
  appear. System also has an Nvidia 9600 512MB card. I tried removing
  the video card and booting using the onboard Intel display, same
  results. System ran Jaunty great.

  The 32-bit live and alternate CD boot up fine, however, I cannot use
  this edition due to the amount of memory I have.

  Is there a workaround for this?
