Hi,

I have the same problem with thinkpad 600X with 192M of memory.

My whole context is
   thinkpad 600X
   thinkpad T30
   ubuntu i386 7.04 Desktop
   kubuntu i386 7.04 Desktop
   mandriva 2007.1 One Free KDE

I can install three CD on T30
I can install mandriva on both laptops

Launch of kubuntu stops just after 
   loading initrd.gz .........
   (clear screen)
   invalid compressed format (err=2)
   -- System halted 

Launch of ubuntu goes more and says :
   ...
   [44  ...174] RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
   [45           ] invalid compressed format (err=1)
                      VFS: Cannot open root device "<NULL>" or ....
                      Please append a correct "root=" boot option
   [45  ...190] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 
unknown-block(104,1)
   [45  ...282]

(note : the laptop having a faulty screen I cannot give the numbers at
head of messages :-( )

There are a difference at launch between mandriva and ubuntu.

ubuntu on 600X gives messages :
  ....
  [43  ...202] EISA: Probing bus 0 at eisa.0
  [43  ...284] Cannot allocate resource for EISA slot 1
  [43  ...367] Cannot allocate resource for EISA slot 4  (note : there aren't 
slots 2 and 3)
  [43  ...457] EISA: Detected 0 cards.
  ....

dmesg on T30 with ubuntu gives :
  ....
  [   29.630209] NET: Registered protocol family 16
  [   29.630344] EISA bus registered
  [   29.630351] ACPI: bus type pci registered
  ....

  [   30.887481] Cannot allocate resource for EISA slot 8
  [   30.887483] EISA: Detected 0 cards.
  ...

There are no EISA messages at mandriva's launch

Is it possible to launch (k)ubuntu without EISA probing ?

Thanks for your attention

Jacek
