[Bug 36998] Flight 5 Kernel Won't Boot on an IBM Thinkpad R30

[hn093]

Public bug reported:

Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
Trying to install Dapper Flight 5 on a Thinkpad R30 fails with "hdc: lost interrupt" error. There's also messages about irq 15, no-one caring and appending "irqpoll" to the bootloader. Appending "irqpoll" gets the installation past this stage, with the side-effect of the CD drive no longer being recognised, making installation from CD impossible. Passing "acpi=off" at boot has the same results. Note this bug also affects other distros with recent kernels, like Fedora Core 5 and SLAX 5.08, but does not affect older distros like Ubuntu Hoary, SuSE 9.1 and Linspire 4.5. I can't say whether or not it works on Breezy, as I haven't attempted to install it on this machine.

Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'kernel-image'; however, that package was not published in Ubuntu.
