Lars it would appear you have found a clear distinction that makes since on some of the issues.

Re: [Bug 1066435] Re: Debian-installer powerpc recursive fault
did all three with 20121017 and had no problems outside of the expected need for xorg.conf on my nVidia machine and some funkiness wiht the resizing mechanism: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian- installer/+bug/1067841. certainly did not have this recursive fault business. if anyone else has a nVidia chip, it would be interesting to see if you have the same experience. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1066435 Title: Debian-installer powerpc recursive fault To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1066435/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: [Bug 1066435] Re: Debian-installer powerpc recursive fault
Yep 64 megs of RAM on the video card here. Can others confirm this applies to desktop, too? I can't get desktop going well on nVidia so I'm of no help there. Again I wonder if using SMP isn't what is making this work for me. Jonathan I need your help checking out non-server nVidia please.

Re: [Bug 1066435] Re: Debian-installer powerpc recursive fault
phill, that's what i was sort of suggesting. if you have the system installed, as long as you can access the drive in some way or another (heck, use another distro if you have to! [you don't but finnix works quick and easy for recovery purposes]) you should be able to get to the logs. also, /proc/version or /proc/version_signature should have your kernel info, unless someone wants to recommend something better (i suggest this instead of uname -a in case you can't access the system, but only the drive). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1066435 Title: Debian-installer powerpc recursive fault To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1066435/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Linux single 2. Linux recovery the former goes straight to the root prompt, while the second will offer a menu of options like normal recovery. if that still fails, you should be able to use recovery from another desktop cd/dvd. even an old one. just get in there, set up networking if need be (when i tested Linux single, it was already set up), and have at it. in any case, for me at least, not a bug, which is a total relief because, imho, nvidia depends upon alternate for quantal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1066435 Title: Debian-installer powerpc recursive fault To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1066435/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
