Latest working kernel version: 2.6.24-xx Earliest failing kernel version: ---- Distribution: Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex Hardware Environment: Samsung R70 / A009 Software Environment: Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex Beta. Problem Description: First of all: I am not a linux expert so please don't ask me too much technical questions about the problem, but i will try to help as much as i can... I am not sure if it is related with Ubuntu or with the kernel but the problems take place in the very first stage of booting (maybe with the loading of the kernel??) and I get the following error messages: "606627 uvesafb: failed to execute /sbin/v86d" "606719 uvesafb: make sure that the v86d helper is installed and executable" "606814 uvesafb: Getting VBE info block failed (eax=0x4f00, err=-2)" "606905 uvesafb: vbe_init() failed with -22 Then the loading goes on a little bit until reaching the message: "Loading hardware drivers ....... " and the laptop freezers at this point. Like i said this is a ramdonly problem,if i restart the computer most probably ubuntu starts, but i think it is very annoying anyway!.

You mean the firmware of the graphic card? In any case windows vista boots always without any problem... and also ubuntu hardy (kernel 2.6.24) boot always without problems On Fri, Oct 10, 2008 at 10:50 PM, Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>wrote: > > (switched to email.

Do you have these uvesafb error messages in the kernel log (run `dmesg` to check the kernel log) when your laptop boots successfully?
Hi, i attach the dmesg because i am not sure of what is an error and what not, but I think there are some errors related with IRQ assignment and also with this uvesafb problem. I am running now the kernel 2.6.27-6 and stil the same thing... but as I said only sometimes.. about 1/5 of the times.
