Interesting. So, either a vanilla/upstream 2.6.24 does not have the problem, or something in your config makes the problem go away. PCMCIA seems to generally be enabled in your config, but it would probably be good to test 2.6.24 with a config as close to Ubuntu's edition of 2.6.24. Do you still have a 2.6.24 ubuntu config in /boot/ that you can use? In that case you should copy it to <kernel-source-dir>/.config and run make oldconfig. If you've only got Ubuntu kernels for other versions you can also try them.
Regarding 2.6.28 not locking up at boot anymore, try <alt>+<ctrl>+<f1> and login and check dmesg for anything fishy. -- jaunty 2.6.28 freezes on pcmcia detection during boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/320526 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
