As the above, (misspelled), comment suggests, I've just installed 8.10,
(kernel 2.6.27-7), and the problem remains. I am using the M2.41 bios
mentioned above, so this doesn't appear to fix the problem.
My workaround for the problem is as follows:
1. Install using the text based alternate installer CD, (this doesn't crash
like the live CD).
2. Try to boot; this may take a few re-boots, mine boots about 25% of the time,
(see note below).
3. Once you are looking at the desktop, open a terminal and type 'gksudo
nautilus' to open the file manager with root access.
4. Navigate to the /lib/modules/2.6.nn-n-generic/kernel/drivers/char/hw-random/
and rename intel-rng.ko to intel-rng.ko.off.
Note: If you cannot get the system to boot at all in step 2, try this as
an alternative:
2. Boot from a live CD with an old kernel. I used Damn Small Linux, but I guess
an Edgy live CD may also work.
3. Rename the Intel-rng.ko file, as described above by ManfredBremen on
2007-08-23
You should now have a fully working system that boots every time.
One last thing, every once in a while, the regular Ubuntu updates will
include a new kernel; this too will need the Intel-rng.ko file renaming
as above. Just choose the older kernel version from the Grub boot menu,
and proceed from step 3 as before.
Good luck,
Dave
