It's been reported that, rather than blacklisting iwl3945, it's sufficient to do the following:
echo 'install iwl3945 { sleep 5; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install iwl3945; }' | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/iwl3945 This introduces an artificial delay in the startup process before loading iwl3945. It will slow down the boot, but does seem to avoid whatever race condition is being triggered here. Confirmation of this is appreciated. -- [regression] 2.6.27-7 sometimes fails to boot (iwl3945 issue?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263059 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
