Further report confirming that as of Jaunty Alpha 3 (upgraded from Alpha 2 directly rather than from the liveCD) things are good for this bug on my HP/Compaq F763NR laptop (with MCP67 rev a2 chipset). Currently running Alpha4 and it's still good, and the Alpha4 CD boots OK. I'm now at kernel 2.6.28-7, although as I write this, it's updating to 2.6.28-8... AND 2.6.28-8 just booted ok as well. I'm pretty close to upgrading my primary work partition from Intrepid to Jaunty primarily to get rid of this annoyance. If nothing else, it's a real headache when explaining to doubtful buddies how Ubuntu Linux is absolutely ready for General Purpose office usage, and then I had to hold a key down during boot... Generates serious eyerolls from them and some embarrassment for me... Perception is everything unfortunately, even if this is minor bug it generates an immediate negative impression for newbs before the desktop has even come up, and that colours the whole "out of box experience". I'm so glad to see it fixed for my hardware combination!
I've had good luck with kernels: 2.6.28-6 2.6.28-7 2.6.28-8 -- System freezes during boot, unless I hold a key down https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272247 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
