Public bug reported:
My trusty main Linux machine, still loaded with Ubuntu 9.04 x86.
Intel DG33BUC motherboard, latest BIOS rev
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8500
So to upgrade, I purchased a new drive:
Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000.C 0F10383 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s
3.5" Internal Hard Drive
BIOS saw the drive fine, Ubuntu 10.04.3 x64 boots / installed smoothly
Eject the CD, reboot, system WILL NOT POST! I see the nVidia BIOS
screen, then blacks out, loan cursor at the top of the screen, FDD light
stuck on. The cursor is at the top of the screen in that position PRIOR
to the Intel splash screen coming on. Thus I know that POST has been
halted.
Switch drives back to the 9.04 drive, system boots fine. Switch back,
same symptoms.
Same thing with Ubuntu 10.04.3 x86.
Using another computer with Intel D945GNTL MB and Intel P4 631 CPU boots
Lucid perfectly fine as installed on the DG33BUC system. So using that
system, a "disk erase / wipe" utility to begin erasing the drive, and
THEN the DG33BUC will POST again with the drive installed in it.
What does Ubuntu 10.04.3 both x86 and x64 do that is so nasty so as to
prevent POST in an Intel DG33BUC based system?
