Hi all,
it is now quite some times since I've made the upgrade to 11.04 but I've still some serious booting problems. At the beginning I was going to think that these was going to be fixed really fast but I'm very surprised to see that nothing seems to be done for this serious problem.
What I'm doing is to use un older kernel from lucid lynx (to be precise 2.6.32-30). The kernel provided with 11.04, that is 2.6.38-9, just doesn't boot. For information, I had no problem with the previous ubuntu version.
To say everything I really regret to have done this upgrade to 11.04 because nothing good was introduced, only new exciting bugs but here I'm off topic... :-)
So, my problem is during boot, very early. I have no logs because the system really does not boot but I've noted some of the messages (I cannot see a lot because the screen cannot be scrolled). The message is a kernel panic and here some of the messages:
...
power_suppy_changed
acpi_battery_notify
acpi_device_notify
acpi_ev_notify_dispatch
acpi_os_execute_deferred
...
I'm on a Sony VAIO laptop, VGN-CR31Z. The problem seems to be related to ACPI but I'm not sure. I've made some research on internet and I didn't find anything useful or pertinent. I've found some infos about a NVIDIA related problem but it is not the same problem of me, I don't have a NVIDIA card anyway.
I've tried the boot option acpi=off but what happens is that the system does not boot at all (nothing happens, I don't have any message at all).
I hope someone can help. I'm quite sad because of this problem, it seems that the quality of our beloved linux distribution is getting worse. It seems that they are more interested to the catchy new netbook-like fancy interfaces and they doesn't care about correcting bugs and improve usability in many area where linux need to improve.
In past I was proud to propose ubuntu to my friends but now, with this kind of problems, I'm not so sure about ubuntu.
I'm also considering changing linux distribution for something more reliable.
Thanks in advance for any help and sorry for the whining... :-)
