I experienced the same problem. I have an the following server configuration:
HP DL380 G3 2 x Intel Xeon 2.8GHz 6GB RAM 6 x 36.4GB SCSI in a RAID5 array (no spares) I did a standard installation (checked the OpenSSH server so I installed software) and did an apt-get update and apt-get upgrade. I rebooted the server and it hung giving almost the exact same output. I came from the server room to google the problem and found this thread. I just went to the server room again to test pressing "m" or "s" as mentioned here, but when I arrived in the server room, the screen was purple, the text "Ubuntu 10.04" was showing and there were 4 white turns turning red and white again. After pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del several times, the server rebooted. Now I got a login prompt. I logged in and immediately entered "sudo init 6" en after rebooting, I got the same error again. I'll see if I can test a general kernel image tomorrow but I'm not sure I'll be able to find the time for it. -- kernel 2.6.32-32 makes machine hang during boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576001 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
