I set the status of this bug, because the bug does not affect inux kernel, but zsync only. Downloading the latest image of Ubuntu 12.10 via browser (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/quantal-desktop-amd64.iso) all works fine and the ISO has kernel 3.4. Downloading the image via zsync

If you're running 12.10 alpha 1 (as you stated on bug #950295) you should not be running kernel version 3.2.0-23.36. I have no idea what you're actually running. Try grabbing the latest daily iso build and see if you still get the problem. Do you still see the problem with 3.2.0-25.40 under 12.04?

I'm confused. You said you were having problems with 12.10, but that kernel is from 12.04. Are you having the same issue in 12.04? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1012281 Title: b43: m

If I set the kernel boot parameters to include b43.blacklist=1, all works fine. But is very weird that Ubuntu does not start without a firmware and without that specific parameter. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https:

That's not actually a panic, just an error about not finding the firmware. If you modify the kernel boot parameters to include b43.blacklist=1, will the machine boot okay? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.l
