Hi Suraj,
Do you have exactly the described problem ("loading hardware drivers"
[fail] linux kernel generic 2.6.24 - 16, hangs on boot), OR does your
system start up and tell you, that it is running with a low resolution?
This would be completeley different.
In my case, in conjunction with the hanging boot described in #215820
there was a problem loading the module snd_pcm, which was solved
upgrading to the described package.
I your boot does NOT hang up on "Loading hardware drivers", BUT somewhere else
you should probably look in another package, as there is
- linux-restricted-modules, linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24
- nvidia-glx-new.
I experienced in my GRUB multiboot configuration, that in some cases of
problems with the nvidia drivers after upgrade to for example linux-
image-2.6.24-16-generic it could help to reinstall some packages (in
Synaptic), for instance linux-headers-2.6.24, linux-restricted-
modules-2.6.24, because they were not correctly set up in all booted
kernels. In a post-installation process the NVidia drivers are compiled
as modules for all existing kernels. But this would not belong to this
thread of discussion.
