Description:
Hi there,

I have a bug with the kernel since the 2.6.15-20-386 one (2.6.15-20 and 2.6.15-21)
ubuntu dapper  wont boot
when i load the system (2.6.15-21) it shows :

Booting 'Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-21-386'

root (hd1,1)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x03
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-21-386 root=/dev/sda2 ro quiet splash
   [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1c00, size0x157b11]
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-21-386
   [Linux-initrd @ 0x1b8a1000, 0x63ed66 bytes]
savedefault
boot
Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel
[4294660.116000] .. MP-BIOS bug : 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC
[4294668.126000] PCI : Cannot allocate resource region 3 of device 0000:00:00.0
[4294668.126000] PCI : Cannot allocate resource region 0 of device 0000:02:00.0

Then it stops booting.


With the 2.6.15.19 i have only these 2 lines, but the kernel boot anyway and I can start ubuntu
