Public bug reported: Binary package hint: mkvmlinuz
The Cirrus Logic CL5446 is the embedded Video hardware in one of the Compaq ProLiant 1600 models. As soon as vmlinuz is loaded, the screen goes BLANK (What I call the Black Screen Of Death - BSOD [I pronounce it: "Bee Sod"]). In fact, you should see a graphical screen asking you to choose a language. This same behaviour occurs on the Live, Alternate & Server CDs. This is a hard error (Occurs every time). There are multiple variants of the Compaq ProLiant 1600 Model. This particular one has the'"P8" BIOS, dated 11/08/2000 (Nov/08/2000). The System Configuration Utility reports an "Embedded - Cirrus Logic CL5446 VGA Video Controller" I also have a ProLiant 1600 with the "E34" BIOS dated 04/19/2000 (Apr/19/2000). This machine's System Configuration Utility (Same version as the above machine) reports an "Embedded - Cirrus Logic VGA Video Controller" (NB: No 'CL5446' designation on this machine). The machine with the 'E34' BIOS does NOT exhibit this problem. The P8 & E34 machines have different BIOS software, and both are patched to the Latest version. Both machines have the same amount of Memory, and SCSI RAID-5 Disk array. Both have Dual Pentium II processors (The E34 are 300MHz, while the P8 are 450MHz). The 'P8' machine has a Smart-2/P RAID Controller installed, while the 'E34' machine has a Smart-2DH RAID Controller installed. I have sufficient spare hardware to fit either controller (or matching controllers) into both machines, if that would assist in resolution of this problem. I am happy to perform additional testing, or supply further information (If requested), so that this problem can be resolved. ** Affects: mkvmlinuz (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed ** Description changed: Binary package hint: mkvmlinuz The Cirrus Logic CL5446 is the embedded Video hardware in one of the Compaq ProLiant 1600 models. - As soon as vmliuz is loaded, the screen goes BLANK (What I call the + As soon as vmlinuz is loaded, the screen goes BLANK (What I call the Black Screen Of Death - BSOD [I pronounce it: "Bee Sod"]).
