Public bug reported:
I have just updated my dapper system to edgy and have some very strange
problems that I suspect are related but do not know how. The system is
an AMD64 system on an asus motherboard A8N-VM. This board caused some
problems in dapper until I updated the bios. There are no more updates
of the bios available
When I boot messages are as normal except for a message at the bottom
saying:
Kernel direct mapping tables up to 1000 0000 @ 8000-8000
Then at the point I would expect usplash to start the screen blanks and
I am left with a white cursor in the top left.
If I change to tty1 then I get the following error message:
5e411d60:4c7d4512 F1 ILLEGAL X86 OPCODE!
It then notifies me that the 4 logical volume are now active and then
the following message:
5e411d60:4c7d4512 63 ILLEGAL X86 OPCODE!
The computer then seems to do a complete check of the file system which
the system passes. The system then does a very slow boot to an x
terminal, there are no errors posted during this process.
The system then goes into kdm which will accept input for a short time
(I think until a return key is pressed) then the keyboard is ignored for
x or a console and there is no acceptance of any other USB input. The
machine will then boot properly but no input is possible. It is
possible to login from a ssh session but there is no bash/dash shell
just a “dumb” $.
I have tried booting with acpi=off noapic and this has not solved the
problem.
I have also tried reinstalling the packages making up the ubuntu-minimal
and ubuntu *standard metapackages and this has not improved matters.
In addition I have used a beta1 edgy livecd which would not boot past
the first error message as outlined above. This was also tried with
noapic acpi=off.
