OK, so last night I shut down, inserted the DVD drive and then switched on again. Then I left it overnight. Was still stuck in the morning.
Then I powered off using Alt+Fn+PrtSc, s, u, o, took the drive out and powered on again. It still got stuck. But then rebooted with Alt+Fn+PrtSc, s, u, b, and it booted fine. Then powered off again, inserted drive again, turned on again. Got stuck. Took drive out. Was still stuck. Rebooted with Alt+Fn+PrtSc, s, u, b, and it booted fine (possibly after initially getting stuck again) In short: > Does the system eventually finish booting? No. > try disconnecting the drive while it is stuck and tell us if that allows the system to finish booting No, it doesn't. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1877388 Title: If DVD drive is present system very often fails to start-up To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1877388/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
