richardmtl: I had similar problems, but I was able to work around them using a lot of hackery that I'm now trying to recall. Basically (from what I found) the new X auto-detects (poorly) your video and monitor configuration. Normally you could override the settings with the Screen & Graphics doogit, but the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file has changed formats slightly and "Screen & Graphics" can't figure it out. If I recall using a recipe in bug #178061, I added the following to the end of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen "LCD" EndSection Then I believe I was able to get Screen & Graphics to identify the video driver, set the mode, and make the desktop cover the entire screen. -- Kernel Won't Boot on an IBM Thinkpad R30 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/36998 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Just an update: I was able to install Alpha 5 without further problems, at least from an installation perspective. However, the screen resolution is totally off; I am unable to get it to use the whole screen. I am unfamilier with how to fix this type of problem, so hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction; otherwise, I guess I'll have to play with it myself somehow. -- Kernel Won't Boot on an IBM Thinkpad R30 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/36998 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I also was able to boot it with Alpha 5; however, the install froze during partitioning. This may be due to faulty hardware on my end, though. Actually, it is almost fror sure due to my hardware (it's been giving me trouble forever, which is why I don't use the laptop anymore). I'll give it another try, but at least it booted completely finally!

[Bug 36998] Re: Kernel Won't Boot on an IBM Thinkpad R30
Hi All, There hasn't been any recent activity in this bug report and we were wondering if this is still an issue? The Hardy Heron Alpha series was recently released which contains an updated version of the kernel. You can download and try the new Hardy Heron Alpha release from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/ . 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/ . Please also note that we will keep this bug report open against the actively developed kernel bug against 2.6.22, 2.6.20 and 2.6.15 this will be closed.

I survived my Gutsy upgrade with the "pci=noacpi" still on my boot line. It's still required to boot.

[Bug 36998] Re: Kernel Won't Boot on an IBM Thinkpad R30
Updating the BIOS to 1.40 went flawless, if a little bit convoluted. As the R30 has no floppy drive and is not running Windows, no IBM-supported update path exists. ThinkWiki has a valuable page: "http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/BIOS_Upgrade#Updating_via_CD.2FDVD_Drive";. In a nutshell, you have to download the program to create a boot floppy and run it on a windows machine with a floppy drive. Then boot linux on that machine (KNOPPIX comes to mind...) and create an image of that floppy. At last you can create and burn a CD image that boots the floppy image. I can mail the CD image to you if you're interested. As I said, latest version is 1.40 (Aug. 2006). If you want to check your BIOS' version, do a "sudo dmidecode | less". You'll find a "Version:" tag in the BIOS Information stanza, which is probably the first. Success re resume after suspend to disk has been mixed. At first sight, nothing seemed to have changed - screen goes out, laptop freezes. But accidentally leaving the laptop in this state for a while showed some disk activity! After a reboot my debugging output lists the first two resume scripts as having been called... So, my next actions will be * Try SysRq. I previously thought that my machine didn't react to Alt-SysRq combos, but checking while running normally revealed that I have to use the *right* Alt-key (which is in fact labeled as "AltGr" on my german keyboard). * Check and maybe change the DSDT (again). The new BIOS revision might have changed something. * Weed out all unneeded resume.d scripts. Maybe there's one which leads to this bug...? I'll let you know if I discover anything interesting. OT: Slow installation is probably not a result of not enough RAM but of a slow hard disk. Running on 512MB here did'nt make the installation (update actually) go any faster.

[Bug 36998] Re: Kernel Won't Boot on an IBM Thinkpad R30
Yes of course, "pci=noacpi" is correct. Sorry, I was posting from my desktop machine and didn't check... My next avenue of investigation is a BIOS update to my R30. Mine still runs 1.38, current is 1.40. As it involves creating a boot floppy on another computer an creating a bootable CD with an image of that floppy, I'll need a little while. I'll post my experiences when I'm done. Glad to have been of assistance!

[Bug 36998] Re: Kernel Won't Boot on an IBM Thinkpad R30
Did you mean "noapic" (without the "pci=") or "pci=noacpi"? There is no "pci=noapic" option. I'm assuming the latter since you refer to IRQ routing. I did try "pci=noapic" and I got to the Desktop, so schnirfl you're my hero. I'm going to run some tests off the liveCD to make sure things seem alive and then I'll swap in my old laptop drive for a test install. -- Kernel Won't Boot on an IBM Thinkpad R30 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/36998 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 36998] Re: Kernel Won't Boot on an IBM Thinkpad R30
Hi, dapper and edgy installed flawlessly with "pci=noapic" on my Thinkpad R30. acpi=off is NOT needed, but PCI/IRQ-Routing should be set to "Automatic" in the BIOS. Even suspend to disk works. The only remaining problem is suspend to ram (which did not bother me much). There are ACPI-related errors in the dmesg output. My attempts at fixing the DSDT only removed some errors with the laptop working (or not re s2ram) as before, so I dumped my handrolled DSDT. After having upgraded to feisty, booting & running still works with pci=noapic, but resume after suspend to disk fails. Last output is the completion of loading the memory dump from swap space, after that the screen blanks (backlight goes out) and the laptoip hangs until switched off. A little debugging shows that all suspend scripts (/etc/acpi- support/suspend.d/*) are being run, but none of the resume scripts (/etc/acpi/resume.d). Booting the 2.6.17-11 kernel of edgy restores suspend to disk functionality, so it's probably a kernel related problem and not a dying X server. I'll gladly post more information if needed.

Still an issue in Edgy release. In other news I fiddled with running a custom version the 2.6.19 kernel on a Debian install. I enabled the experimental libata driver for the ali5229 IDE controller, which is supposedly a rewrite. Same issue, though the printouts from the new driver may be useful, I've added them to this comment.
