[Bug 1877388] Re: If DVD drive is present system very often fails to start-up
I thought I might have to get into Grub to select mainline kernel (do I?), but either way right now the machine boots up fine with the DVD drive in.

> It sounds like a hardware fault. Could well be I guess. However, whilst booted I just whacked the DVD drive in and am now listening to a CD on it fine. So it certainly works. Also, this issue only started once I starting using 20.04. It never happened with 18.04. These facts would seem to suggest a software issue to me.

It sounds like a hardware fault. I'm not sure what else to recommend other than: * Don't ever plug the drive in; or * Get a new drive; or * Get a new motherboard; or * Try a newer or older kernel version and see if there are any that work: https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=M;O=D -- 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
[Bug 1877388] Re: If DVD drive is present system very often fails to start-up
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?

Thanks. Assuming the steps in comment #6 were followed then that shows the kernel could not detect the DVD drive being connected at all: May 08 14:32:07 josef-ThinkPad-T510 kernel: ata2: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300) Please try again booting with the drive connected and leave it for one hour. Does the system eventually finish booting? Separately, please also try disconnecting the drive while it is stuck and tell us if that allows the system to finish booting. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- 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

Yes the attached log 'CurrentDmesg.txt' shows the CD-ROM drive was reconnected after the machine had been running for about 27 minutes. But that might not be the real issue... Can you please: 1. Reinstall the drive and reproduce the boot failure again. 2. Turn the machine off and remove the drive. 3. Turn the machine on again, log in and run: journalctl -b-1 > prevboot.txt then attach the resulting text file here. -- 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
