Found a work-around : Disable the firewire module from loading during boot.
edit: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-firewire.conf uncommented the line: blacklist firewire-ohci Run: sudo update-initramfs -k all -u Im now able to boot the release kernel 3.2.0-24 without any problem only downside is no firewire support. I've now proven that its a firewire bug or very closely related to firewire. Also proven that the bug appeared between kernel 3.0.0-17+ and 3.1.0-1. ** Tags removed: needs-bisect ** Tags added: found-workaround -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/981936 Title: Firewire prevents booting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/981936/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
