Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic

I got a MSI MegaBook 670 laptop.
When i tried Kubuntu/Ubuntu Gutsy LiveCD it crashes the system (totally crash, I even can't switch betwen consoles).
In feisty al the system works fine, this problem it just happens in gutsy.

I intalled ubuntu feisty, and I did make an upgrade to 2.6.22-14-generic kernel from gutsy repositories,(only linux-image and ubuntu-modules*).
As my system totally chashes I cannot put required KernelTeamBugPolicies outputs (lspci, dmesg,etc).

Tip: when I start livecd with acpi=off option enabled, the system starts correctly.

The files attached to this bug report are from Kubuntu Gutsy started with acpi=off option. (With ubuntu gutsy I get the same behavior).

The Hardy Heron kernel was recently uploaded for testing. We'd really appreciate it if you could try testing with this newer kernel and verify if this issue still exists. Unfortunately, the Hardy Heron Alpha1 LiveCD was released with the older 2.6.22 kernel. You'll have to manually install the newer Hardy Heron kernel in order to test. This should not be the case for Alpha2 which is set to come out around Dec 20. However, here are the instructions to install if you choose to do so, otherwise just wait for Alpha2 to come out:

1) edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list and add the following line:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main restricted

2) sudo apt-get update
3) sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.24-1-generic
4) reboot and select the new kernel from the grub menu

After you've tested, please feel free to revert back - ie boot into the old kernel, sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.24-1-generic, and remove the line from /etc/apt/sources.list . Please update this report with your results. Thanks in advance!

This report will remain open against the actively developed kernel. However, I'm closing the report against linux-source-2.6.22 as it does not meet the criteria for a stable release update. You can learn more about the stable release update process at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates . Thanks!

Hardy Heron Alpha2 was recently released. It contains an updated version of the kernel. You can download and try the new Hardy Heron Alpha2 release from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/alpha-2/ . You should be able to then test the new kernel via the LiveCD. If you can, please verify if this bug still exists or not and report back your results. General information regarding the release can also be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/hardy/alpha2 . Thanks!
