[Bug 610124] [NEW] Kernel locks up with no feedback on initrd passoff

[Paul Tagliamonte]

Public bug reported:

Upon install of 10.04 to my HP Mini 110, I rendered the system
unbootable. Live CD came up normally, without issue, install finished
with success.

Bootup is about 90% unsuccessful, 10% bootup continues as normal, and is
runnable.

The laptop was running without issue on 10.04 Beta 2 for about three
months.

This artifact presents it's self as a hang after GRUB passes off control to the initrd. There is no feedback, and is unresponsive to:
 * Keyboard Input
 * Off button
 * REISUB
 * Ctrl + Alt + Del

Tested with fresh wipes with the following images:
 * Ubuntu 10.04
 * Kubuntu 10.04
 * Xubuntu 10.04

Issue was very reproducible.

I have tried installing the nightly build of the -M kernel, with no
success. It rendered the system about 80% usable, but the issue is still
present.
