  • Can't load Hardy

    Don't know if this is the appropriate section to ask this, but I need help with Hardy. It simply won't load on my machine. Using the latest Alpha release, I can boot to the boot menu, but when I try to load it (either to install it or to use it as a LiveCD) it hangs at the loading stage, gives me the following errors:

    Code:
     ata1.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x4)
    ata2.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x4)
    ... and drops me to a BusyBox prompt:

    Code:
     Check root= bootarg cat /proc/cmdline
    or missing modules, devices: cat /proc/modules ls /dev
    
    ALERT! /dev/disk /by-uuid /2722354a-a243-4baa-8ef5-447c5-6c42 does not exist, dropping to shell!
    
    BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu7) Built-in shell (ash)
    Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands
    Interesting thing is that trying to load my own compiled 2.6.24 kernels produce the same error.
    I currently have a perfectly functional Gutsy install, and can use 2.6.23 kernels without issues. A kernel vs. hardware issue perhaps? These are my specs:

    Asus M2R32-MVP (AMD 580X SB600)
    Athlon X2 4000+
    2x2GB DDR2 1000
    HD2900XT
    Audigy2 Value
    SATAII HDD (Seagate Barracuda)
    SATA DVD RW


    I should also mention that I used to have an old FDD on this same machine, and when trying to load Hardy (or a 2.6.24 kernel) I would get some crazy activity on the FDD and a lot of "Bad sector" errors on FD0 (the FDD) followed by the ata errors above. Seems that it's having issues with my drives or something.

    Something was broken in Hardy yesterday, although I think we saw malloc errors. I think it's fixed today. I can check with Matthew if you like -- he was the first one to run across the problem here.

      It was glibc that had broke.

        Yeah, that glibc was driving everyone crazy. However, that's not my problem in this case.

          throwing a borked glibc into repository... i doubt it's acceptable even at alpha stage. ubuntu's qa level is starting to scare me.
