For people who don't know how to install an older kernel from edgy: Go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/base/linux-image-2.6.17-11-generic and chose your architecture (etc. i386) in Download linux- image-2.6.17-11-generic section. In next page just click on link and download it. Then do double click on downloaded file to install package.
When package was installed go and edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst to point on this kernel. You should do $sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and put up from these lines: title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.20-16-generic root (hd0,5) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-16-generic root=UUID=c21c4f6a-f36a-408b-aace-1deea4387a9b ro quiet splash initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.20-16-generic quiet savedefault these lines: title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.17-11-generic root (hd0,5) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-11-generic root=UUID=c21c4f6a-f36a-408b-aace-1deea4387a9b ro quiet splash initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-11-generic your root (hd0,5) and UUID for disks will be different from mine so you must just change it for you. You need also to change in your /etc/fstab line for cdrom $sudo gedit /etc/fstab and change scd0 to hdb, hdc or hdd to be something like this line: /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 After reboot choose Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.17-11-generic and all should work. You may have a problem if you can't load X. You just need to install nvidia or ati drivers again for new kernel. You may also need linux- restricted-modules package from http://packages.ubuntu.com but it's not usually necessarily -- CDROM drive no longer working, unable to mount. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/94119 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
