Public bug reported: My laptop used to boot fine with karmic 32bit. I boot it a few times a day and haven't noticed any problems. I installed lucid when it was at Alpha 2 and used it daily since then. About a week ago I got random freezes during booting. (Certainly with 2.6.32-17, I'm not sure about 2.6.32-16).
I confirmed that upstream 2.6.33-020633-generic has the same problem. Please note that I had the same issues for the 64 bit version since karmic(!), but the 32 bit version worked nicely, so I thought it was a 64 bit issue. Switching to 32 bit was an acceptable workaround, but now that the 32 bit doesn't boot most of the time I'm close to desperation (since it means I must switch back to Windows after 7 years...). The last line printed on the screen is: [ 0.529300] ata_piix 0000:00:1f.1: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 After that the system can only be powered off, rebooting is not possible. I'd say that the system freezes with a probability of about 50-75%.
