Bug Description

[feisty] Installation crashes.

When trying to install 7.04 beta AMD64 version the installation halts after nearly nearly complete (95.7%) while displaying the message: "Detecting hardware.....please wait Loading module 'aec62xx' for 'IDE chipset support'. After waiting about an hour I finally had to reset the system.

The system I'm trying to load this on is an ECS Elitegroup motherboard with the nForce4-4X chipset, an AMD64-2x cpu, 1 GB of memory, and a SATA hard drive. I've had Windows XP running on this system previously.

In addition, I am still seeing and IO-apic error message at the start of loading the live CD but it doesn't give the Kernel panic that 6.10 install gave on this same system.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Could you please add the full output of 'sudo lspci -vv' and 'sudo lspci -vvn' when running the Live CD as attachments to your bug report? Thanks in advance.

lspci-vv and lspci-vvn outputs for bug 103755 Edit (37.6 KiB, text/plain)

Brian,

Here are the two attachments you requested in your email of 4/6/07. I've combined the two outputs from the -vv and the -vvn ouput into a single file.

My aec62xx issue disappeared when I replaced the broadcom PCI wireless network card with a cheap replacement.

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this bug to the new "linux" package. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

The ubuntu-kernel-team is being unassigned from this bug report. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies for more information. Thanks.
