Hi, Asus P5K-VM, Ubuntu 7.04, SATA HDD, PATA DVDRW, Core2 Duo E6750.
PROBLEM: Installs fine from bootable CD. Freezes (at splash) when starting up though. Just after loading SATA modules. I don't think this is specific to Core2duo, but Story 17 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Core_2_Duo_Support gave me the solution. >>>>>>> FIX: Grub creates the incorrect entry for root, It was >>>>>>> "root=/dev/hda1", but it must be "root=/dev/sda1"! <<<<<<<<< That fixes the problem on my board! In the grub menu, you can press "e" to edit the entry, then change to "root=/dev/sda1", then press "b" to boot it. This is a temporary change. When in Ubuntu, do a "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" and change it permanently at the bottom of that file somewhere. Also check your BIOS is the latest version, asus.com said my E6750 was supported with a certain new version which I updated to. Running "uname -a" once in Ubuntu, gives: "Linux def-desktop 2.6.20-15-generic #2 SMP Sun Apr 15 07:36:31 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux " -- Hard freeze when reading from SATA disk on promise 20376 sata (MSI k7N2ILSR) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/126704 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
