Bug Description

I am running Ubuntu on a Dell Inspiron 2650 Laptop. I installed Ubuntu 8.10 and it loaded without any problems. I updated to 9.04. When I did that I was unable to boot with the new kernel, 2.6.28-13. I kept booting with 2.6.27-14. Then an updated kernel was released, 2.6.28-14. I am still unable to boot from the newest kernel. When I select the newest Kernel in grub I get the following message:

Boot From (HD0, 4) Ext 4 Then a code of some sort
Starting Up ....

Then the system locks up.

I did notice that when I boot from 27-14 it has Ext 3 instead of Ext 4. Is that a problem? I did all updates through the update manager.

I'd like to verify I have the same laptop model and 2.6.28-14 also freezes after the Starting Up ... message.

2.6.27-14 works fine

Hello,
Just updated to the newest Kernal and still have to use the old kernal. I try to boot with the newest kernal and it locks up just after I tell it to load. Does anyone have an idea as to why I can not use the newest kernals to boot my laptop? Please let me know.

Hi Ducky,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 408012

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
