Ubuntu freezes during boot - when dmesg starts probing ide0

I'm out of the office in training through Jan 31. If you need anything please contact Chris McLeroy at 913-707-3475. I will have limited email and voicemail access during this time.

One more note... The Hard Drive that is installed in my system is a 40G
Hitachi (HTS541040G9AT00)

Thanks,

Randy

New support request #3247 on Ubuntu:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ticket/3247

Hello All,

I recently installed Ubuntu and when it tries to boot up it seems to
freeze up right after I see this:

ICH4: chipset revision 1
ICH4: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
   ide0: BM-DMA at 0x1860-0x1867, bios settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio
   ide1: BM-DMA at 0x1868-0x186f, bios settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio

I tried to install other flavors of linux (RH, FC, SUSE) and all seem to
lock up in exactly the same place. I've posted to other sites with no
luck and I thought I would give this one a try to see if someone is up
to the challenge ;-)

Even if you don't know the answer to getting this up and going, if you
saw that your machine was locking up here what would your next steps be
in troubleshooting this type of a problem.

One of the things that I did was remove my CDROM drive that I'm guessing
was ide1 thinking that there might be something flaky going on with the
cdrom drive.

Right now I'm trying to install on an IBM Thinkpad T42. I see that
several folks have gotten this to work, but on further investigation my
model number appears to be somewhat unique (2374-K5U).

The version of Ubuntu that I'm installing is 6.10

This really has me pulling my hair out... Any help would be
tremendously appreciated!

Thanks,

Randy

Hello,
I would try some kernel parameters. This would be my order:

1) pci=nopci
2) acpi=off
3) acpi=noirq
4) pci=noacpi

Try it and post your experiences, if possible with the messages from the kernel at boot
time.

Mr Canis

What is the best way to pass these parameters to the kernel? I'm not sure that I'm going about it right...

What I'm doing now is going to recovery mode, typing e to edit, selecting boot and adding the parameter there. Then I type b to boot and I'm not seeing any change.

Thanks,

Randy (913-940-2241)
