** Description changed:
+ [SRU Justification]
+
+ [Impact]
+ In bug 1840239, HPET is disabled on some systems for they caused TSC
+ being marked unstable while it is not. This caused an regression as bug
+ 1851216 that some systems may then hang at early, so a fix cherry picked
+ back from v5.3-rc1. However, this fix also introduce yet another
+ regression that some other users may hang at boot while PIT is diabled
+ in the previous fix.
+
+ [Fix]
+ Commit 979923871f69 ("x86/timer: Don't skip PIT setup when APIC is
+ disabled or in legacy mode") from v5.6-rc1, also backported to v5.4.19
+ and v5.5.3, fixes PIT setup in this case.
+
+ [Test Case]
+ Simply boot a patch kernel on systems affected and it shouldn't hang.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Low. Stable patch and trivial backport.
+
+ [Other Info]
+ The same fix for bug 1851216 was also backported to Disco and Eoan, but
+ they were then fixed with this 979923871f69 commit backported in bug
+ 1866858 and bug 1867051, which pulls v5.4 stable patches into Disco and
+ Eoan correspondingly, leaving B/OEM-B the only victims so far.
+
+ ========== Original Bug Description ==========
+
After the update to install kernel 4.15.0-72-generic (a bit over a week ago)
my computer will not boot. On boot, all I see is the purple screen with:
Loading Linux 4.15.0-72-generic ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...
and nothing happens. Just sits there. I've waited about 5-10 minutes on
occasion but to no avail.
I've checked a number of logs in /var/log but not found anything.
If I go into the advanced options and select kernel 4.15.0-70-generic,
the computer boots normally.
