Public bug reported: Binary package hint: hostap-utils
On a lucid install from beta2 cd subsequently upgraded to 10.04, installing 'hostap-utils' leads to a soft lockup during boot every time. Because of lucid's parallel boot procedure, it was difficult to identify the offending package. However, removing the package makes lucid bootable again. Booting with 'vesa', 'verbose', or 'single' kernel options does not help. The problem is reproducible. Looking at the package files, it looks like the 'modprobe.d' or 'if-pre- up.d' files are causing the problem during boot. Swap was activated and init-bottom had been run, if that helps at all. This is the i386 version on an older Thinkpad R40 (Type 2681-J1C). The package version is '1:0.4.7-1ubuntu1' from universe.
