hi again, Managed to revive my laptop after a couple of days since the problems were intermittent (or at least one was, triggering the rest). The pci=nomsi option never worked for me in grub.cfg so I had not much faith in the fix mentioned above. Then nomodeset stopped working too (no idea why, heard some more people about that) and I ended up booting with a permanent radeon.modeset=0 for some weeks. Since then a lot has changed in the kernel, X-server, ATI/Radeon driver and Plymouth.
I checked, but can not reproduce the behaviour in this bugreport anymore. All seems to be working OK, booting reliably without special options so I consider it fixed. Thanx everyone for helping out. cheers Tom -- [Lucid] Radeon Xpress 200M needs PCI quirk to fix or disable MSI https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/509273 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
