I've tried several boot settings (removing quiet and splash, removing
every kernel parameter but root=/dev/mapper/gnome-root and adding set
gfxpayload=text, adding debug and "acpi=off") and none of them result in
anything but a garbled screen (see attached picture). I've got the
feeling, that it could be some console (if I enter text the screen
changes and if I use the up and down arrow keys I can switch between
different distorted texts) but no command I tried ("shutdown -r now",
"restart", "init 0") had any effect.Also I tested the recovery modes of the other kernels (.17 and .18) and each of them showed garbled text. So the new bug of .19 which prevents it from logging anything to the hdd and switching to more advanced graphics settings seems to be independent from the distorted text phenomenon. ** Attachment added: "Picture of the screen displaying distorted text" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1085830/+attachment/3456101/+files/2012-12-10%2009.16.31.jpg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1085830 Title: Regression: Kernel 3.5.0-19 does not boot on HP ProBook 4540s (with UEFI) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1085830/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
