[Bug 561462] [NEW] MacBook 4, 1 starts up with 2.6.32.19 but not 2.6.32.20

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

Public bug reported:

MacBook4,1 (early 2008 model), Ubuntu Lucid, all updates installed

With the 2.6.32.19 kernel, Ubuntu starts up successfully.

With the 2.6.32.20 kernel (whether in recovery mode or not), Ubuntu
switches immediately to a console, which displays a bunch of text and
then hangs.

The first time this happened, the last four lines of text shown in the console were: (transcribed from a photo)
------------

0.760094] usb 2-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2
0.892478] usb 2-4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
1.300089] usb 7-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
------------

On the second attempt, the last four lines of text shown in the console were: (again transcribed from a photo)

I have not used ubuntu-bug -p linux because that would, presumably, be
gathering lots of information from the 2.6.32.19 kernel that works fine,
and not from the 2.6.32.20 kernel that doesn't work.

Other problems reported in the past 12 hours with 2.6.32.20 not starting
up include bug 561437 (ThinkPad X61), bug 561140 (Acer Aspire, with
various other systems piling on in comments), bug 561429 (Acer), and bug
561409. Of these, bug 561140 looks vaguely similar to the first text
above, as it contains the text "usb 2-5: configuration #1 chosen from 1
choice".
