I've just installed the system using the alternate-install CD as I said before. Although this doesn't _solve_ the problem (no live CD, and no card reader), if you want to _bypass_ it:
- Install from the alternate CD. The sdhci module will not interfere with the process. - When done, boot again from the CD and use the recovery system to start up a terminal rooted on whichever partition holds your installation (or wherever you've decided to put your /etc). Type echo "blacklist sdhci" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist , then exit and reboot into your new system. This was a lot more complicated when the 8139 problem overlapped with this one, since debian-installer attempts to set up the network, so one had to prevent it from hanging by awkward means. I'm glad we got rid of that one! Regarding the lack of a blacklist-module-on-boot capability in Ubuntu, I've noticed this idea on the Ubuntu brainstorm site, http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/86 , which seems not to be too popular at present. I've made my case for it, perhaps some of the people affected by this bug may want to add a comment as well? -- sdhci module hangs Everex StepNote 2053T https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187671 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
