[Bug 346889] [NEW] Ubuntu 9.04 Alpha 6 (Kernel 2.6.28) crashes Compaq Armada M700 during boot-up.

[Inox]

Public bug reported:

Note! I cannot attach lsmod, lspci, dmesg outputs from Ubuntu 9.04 Alpha
6 - the lspci.log provided comes from MEPIS8 with 2.6.27-series kernel
(just for you to know my hardware).

Ubuntu 7.04, 7.10, 8.04LTS, 8.10 worked on my Compaq Armada M700 (PIII
850MHz, 384MB RAM, ~18GB HDD) like a charm. This laptop is a "test-lab"
I use before production deployment. This time I was unable to boot from
Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope Live-CD. I disabled splash and quiet boot
options to see what is going on. I was only able to see rewinding
screens of text (but it was to fast to read).

I decided to download Ubuntu 8.10 mini.iso and install minimal 8.10
release over the network. Everything went fine. Then I did do-release-
update and installed ubuntu-desktop.

Booting with 2.6.28 kernel fails, 2.6.27 boots normally.

What can I do more to help others? Feel free to ask additional
questions.

PS: Is there any minimal CD of Jaunty I could use?
