Based on Ton's comment, I should note here another possibility. I am also using a Compaq, and these laptops are notorious for having strange sound configurations. For example, the speakers will never work during a boot session if a boot the machine with headphones plugged in. If I boot without the headphones plugged in, my speakers will work, but the headphones will not (unless I reboot with the headphones plugged in).
The reason I'm mentioning this, is because there might be a possibility that the machine is hanging in an attempt to do something with the sound system. Just a thought. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/811240 Title: Update to kernel 2.6.38-10 causes hang on startup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/811240/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
