Laptop: Sony Vaio model: VPCY2190X
Ubuntu Release: 10.04 x64 Live USB as made by the USB Creator tool from Ubuntu
10.04 x64
I am trying to boot Ubuntu off a live USB stick (no disc drive), but get a
kernel panic or a non-responsive system on every boot.
If I allow the startup process to continue without interference to change
options, I eventually end up with a blank screen, no response to mouse or
keyboard except for ctrl-alt-del, which preforms a shutdown. ctrl-alt-f1 will
not bring up a terminal either. When I turn on the 'nomodeset' boot option I
can see the boot splash, can ESC out of it and see boot text. However, I get
what appears to be corrupted, colored text for a split second and then kernel
panic (caps & scroll lock blinking) with black screen. The other options in
the live boot option screen do not seem to make an appreciable difference.
With my moderate amount of linux experience, I'm going to postulate that
this is a graphics chipset driver issue because of the display
corruption and the fact that 'nomodeset' at least improves the boot
experience. The graphics chipset is an Intel chip:
Mobile Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD
Mobile Intel® GS45 Express Chipset
I hope that I am in error in reporting this bug, but I have tried all
the tricks that I could think of to get it to boot and have failed.
