Public bug reported: Binary package hint: linux-image-generic
The feisty herd-5 2.6.20(-11,-12...- generic and 386) kernels hang on boot when they reach setting up usb-hid on a via VB6002 motherboard. This mini-ITX pentium-M board has a VIA VN800 North Bridge and a VT8237R series South Bridge. Fiddling with legacy usb support in the BIOS and other usb related settings has no effect. The earlier edgy 2.6.17 kernels generated a kernel panic on boot. I was able to install edgy by installing off-board then swapping the disk in with a 2.6.20-rc6 kernel which was compiled from the git repository a few weeks ago. This _does_ boot under feisty. ** Affects: linux-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- feisty herd-5 2.6.20 kernel hangs on boot with VIA VB6002 motherboard https://launchpad.net/bugs/95165 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
