[ubuntu-uk] Cannot boot after upgrade to Lucid
Hi all I have posted the following bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/573776 but got no response yet so I wonder if anyone on the list can help me? It seems that the only way I can get at my partitions is by using my USB stick. So I can pull of log files, etc and modify any config files, if needed.

Hello,
That error is related to your graphics card. What gfx card and what RAM
do you have?
Here's the error in the drivers code
if (rdev-family == CHIP_RS400 || rdev-family == CHIP_RS480) {
/* FIXME: RS400 RS480 seems to have issue with GART size
* if 4G of system memory (needs more testing) */
rdev-mc.gtt_size = 32 * 1024 * 1024;
DRM_ERROR(Forcing to 32M GART size (because of ASIC bug ?)\n);
}
Can you let us know what hardware your system has and we can look a bit
further.
Thanks,
-Matt Daubney

Tony Can you see what version of linux (kernel) is showing in grub, it should have a version number such as 2.6.31-20. The only thing I can think of is that grub is using an older kernel and the modules for your video driver are going splat... -- John Stevenson jr0cket.com leanagilemachine.com -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Matt: Graphics is ATI Radeon Xpress 200 onboard which uses some
of the system RAM. The PC itself is an HP Pavilion t3510.uk desktop
with an HPvs17x flatscreen monitor and 1GB Ram.
John: The kernel is whatever kernel Lucid installs (I can confirm it, if
you want but shutting XP rebooting takes an age)
Matt: Note booting in Recovery mode and with old kernel also fails.

Can you confirm that it boots with a livecd? You refer to your usb
stick, is that the live image you installed from?

The other question is, what partitions do you keep on the software raid?
ureadahead doesn't like /var having it's own partition apparently.

I have *no* software raid that I know of! Yes /var does have its own
partition.
I can boot off the USB stick with Lucid 10.04 LTS on it, but I did not
install from it. This was a distribution upgrade using Update Manager.
The kernels shown by GRUB are
2.6.32.21
2.6.31.21
2.6.27.11
I can't boot from the first two. The last one boots to a log in prompt,
then freezes, but gives me a console session on tty1. It also boots in
recovery mode.

When that happened to me on my netbook, I tried
sudo apt-get update,
and it got me to a log in screen. I then had to do a rescue, which
actually worked. Dont know if that helps.
