[MarcRandolph <mrand@xxxxxxxxx>]

Howdy, and thank you for helping to make Ubuntu better.  This does not
look like a problem with the particular features offered by Mythbuntu,
but a more general problem (hence the reason it affected you with Ubuntu
desktop).  the short answer is that it looks somewhat like a hardware
problem, but it is possible that there was a driver or some other
software problem.  Have you been able to resolve or affect it in any
way?  Either way, please respond here with what you've tried so that
others can benefit.

Partial extract from the dmesg:

Bug description:
Clean install of Mythbuntu 9.10 fails to start giving kernel hang messages during boot. This problem first occurred following an upgrade from Hardy (Ubuntu Desktop,  not Mythbuntu) > Interpid > Jaunty > Karmic. I thought the problem may be related to the multiple consecutive upgrades, so have now done a fresh install of Mythbuntu 9.10. Given the described history, this bug may also affect plain Ubuntu, but I have not tested.

Method of install:
Booted from MythBuntu 9.10 live CD and installed LVM so that I could perform install onto a new LVM volume (I wanted to retain existing volumes on the disk). chrooted into new root and installed lvm2 again to regenerate initrd with lvm modules. Performed a reboot and encountered problem on 1st boot. Second boot worked OK and I then did a full apt-get upgrade. Now all subsequent boots fail during startup.

SSH server does start successfully, but login via ssh does not present prompt, however I am able to execute commands via ssh, hence I have been able to capture the output of dmesg (see attached). I have not been able to find anything useful from dmesg despite hours of searching and I am getting beyond my area of knowledge.

I am running the 64-bit version of MythBuntu on an AMD64 3000 / ASUS K8V-X SE motherboard. Please let me know what other information is required.

Thanks in advance.
