I believe the Xorg startup problems were caused by bug #281610 so we are probably just dealing with a usplash issue now.
** Description changed: Ok. Grrr. Intrepid was working fine only last week! Rant over. SYMPTOMS Fresh install from 2008-10-17 ps3 alternate disk for Intrepid. Scenario 1: After kboot kexec's the target system the screen goes blank. Nothing happens. No disk activity. Nothing. Magic SysRq keys don't do anything. Scenario 2: Booting without "quiet" and "splash" kernel args. This time kernel seems to boot ok, normal boot messages run by. However just as GDM starts screen goes blank. A couple of times I was able to use Magic SysRq keys to do a controlled reboot from here (not sure I can do that - consistently). + consistently). **UPDATE with the fix for bug #281610 X now starts fine + in this scenario.** Scenario 3: Boot using "single" arg to get into the recovery mode. Go to - the root shell, run "invoke-rc.d gdm", screen goes blank. Magic SysRq - keys can be used to reboot. - - Scenario 4: Same as 3 above, but this time run usplash -v. Same result. - Blank screen. + the root shell, run usplash -v. Blank screen. LOGS - No obvious errors dmesg, messages, kern.log log file. Xorg.0.log shows - the following at the end: - - --- begin Xorg.0.log snippet --- - No core keyboard - - Fatal server error: - failed to initialize core devices - --- end Xorg.0.log snippet --- - - Not sure this is related. + No obvious errors dmesg, messages, kern.log log file. ** Also affects: usplash (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Busted graphics/framebuffer hangs boot on PS3 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/285218 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
