For everybody bitten by this bug: Could you please go into BIOS setting,
try to disable your LAN (Ethernet controller), and see if Ubuntu 8.04
Live CD would boot?
There is a bug in r8169.ko module in Linux kernel 2.6.24 which causes a
Kernel Oops when it sees new not-yet-unrecognized Ethernet controller.
r8169 in 2.6.24 recognizes RTL8101E, but not RTL8102E. That "Oops"
causes some memory corruption or whatnot, and the system fails to boot.
Could you please press Shift-PageUp and see if you see a line that looks
like this?
[ 43.851] [<f8889e67>] rtl8169_init_one+0xc4/0xe9 [r8169]
If so, please let us know here. AFAIK, the official Ubuntu kernel
developers are aware of this, and is actively working on a fix, with
test kernel package working or almost working.
Thanks!
