** Description changed:
- The laptop is a Samsung R20 equipped with ATI XPRESS 1250.
+ Please add ati xpress 1250 to the kernel drm KMS blacklist.
- Upgrade from karmic to lucid beta 1 succeeded and the system used to
- boot normally WITH nomodeset option. Using nomodeset, everything was
- working like a charm until I updated linux kernel and ati driver. Since
- then, the system won't boot, even with the option nomodeset.
+ Testing has shown that KMS support for the ati xpress 1250 is
+ inadequate, often resulting in a regression where the system hangs
+ during boot up. Testers have found that booting with radeon.modeset=0
+ restores the system functionality. This is why this particular video
+ card should be blacklisted.
- This bug report is sent from a beta1 live session.
- System fails to boot using daily-live produced after beta1 although the same boot parameters are used: nomodeset.
- I just tested beta2 and it still fails.
-
+ [initial bug report: symptoms of what happens when one tries to boot with kms enabled]
Here are some details of what happens:
- 1. setting nomodeset option
- 2. editing boot option, removing quiet and splash
- 3. Selecting Try Ubuntu
- 4. System begins to boot, lots of messages are printed on the screen
- 5. After 2-3 seconds, screen goes black although disk activity continues
- 6. Screen keeps being black and the computer is unusable
-
- I would be glad to help solve this bug by performing testing and giving
- as much information as needed. However, I will only be able to do these
- tests from live CD as I reinstalled karmic on my machine in order to
- have a working system.
-
- regards,
