Sten Bennetsen, the issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions verbatim at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/kernel . If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.
** Description changed: When trying to boot using kernel 3.2.x kernel the screen just goes blank and harddisk IO stops. Removing the quiet and splash options in combination with nomodeset seems to reveal that the booting stops due to an error in setting the firewire's power levels (see attachment) Kernel 3.0.x work fine. ps The system was updgraded from 11.10 -> 12.04 beta 2 + + WORKAROUND: 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 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: linux-image-generic 3.2.0.23.25 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-17.30-generic 3.0.22 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-17-generic i686 AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
