Public bug reported:
Warning newbee....
In a dark corner of my basement, I have a number of old PC's I use to learn
about hardware & software. Most
recently, I've been trying to get Ubuntu Server up and running but I am having
some difficulties.
Problem: PC keeps rebooting after the installation of Ubuntu Server V-6.10
- After the installation, I reboot. The PC goes through its memory tests and
hardware
detection OK. I then get the following messages:
* GRUB Loading
* Press ESC to enter the menu
* The message "Starting Up" then flashes on the screen and immediately it
starts to reboot going through
the memory tests etc.
Hardware:
- Home built PC with an MS-5156 motherboard.
- Pentium-MMX 233 processor
- BIOS - Award Modular BIOS v4.51PG
- 8 Gig hard drive (HDA) (will later install an 80 Gig HD as second HD)
- 128 Meg of memory
- Keyboard, mouse etc...
What I've done:
- Previously had the PC running FREENAS - works just fine
- Did the default Ubuntu Server installation from CD - no special options.
Same problem
- Installed it on another PC. Configured it for SAMBA, Apache2 etc. Works just
fine
- Reconfigured the master/slave hard drives on the failing computer - no
success
- Installed as a regular and LAMP server. Same problem
What I want to do:
- Load and run Ubuntu Server on P233 PC to run SAMBA, Apache2 but I
can't get it to load and boot.
Any idea what is causing this rebooting problem and more importantly,
how to fix it?
