[Bug 463370] Re: [Karmic] Kernel x64 don't boot on dell Optiplex 740

 

Guilhem Lettron, 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] Kernel x64 don't boot on dell Optiplex 740

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have made a PXE installation for my compagny.

  The installation work on many machines, but it fails on a dell Optiplex 740.
  It fails only with an amd64 kernel.

  It loads linux, then initrd.gz.
  After that, I have a black screen ... then it stop and I'm already on the kernel load.

  It seems to be a problem with KMS or somethings like this. But it
  strange that in i386 it work great.

  Note that it works with a amd64 Jaunty installer.

  AMD Athlon X2
  Northbridge NVIDIA
  ATI X600
  Gigabit BCM5754
