This is still a big issue! I have the same problem with Hardy 8.04. (And with 7.10 too)
The VIA Chrome9 HC IGP with VT8237 PCI Bridge is not recognized by the Kernel. The system crashes on every boot, even if you select in the grub menu just to boot to the console. I changed the device entry in the xorg.conf file manually to VIA and to OPENCHROME- no success. The VESA driver is NOT working, too. I did the editing of xorg.conf by booting with the rescue cd of " http://www.sysresccd.org/ " that recognizes the VIA Chrome9 graphics adapter properly. Why that? I think it's Kernel 2.6.22. The booting stops with the line "<c0310000> svc_accept +0xC0/0x410", one time I've got the message "Bug: soft lockup - CPU#0/1 stuck for 11s, Modprobe 3114, 3125. This is repeating in a loop. The installation with the alternate CD crashes sometimes, too. The installation of the base system is succesful but when it starts installing the software packages it stops at 2% when "xresprobe" or "libx11-6" is installed. You can only switch off the laptop. -- Ubuntu LiveCD doesn't start with a "VIA Chrome9 HC" graphic card and, when Ubuntu is installed, it works only with VESA drivers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/179675 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
