Nvidia MCP67 system freezes on boot unless key is held down (continuation of #272247)

still does this in 2.6.28-10-generic

We have several reports related to Nvidia MCP67 chip-sets. Some may be different bugs but it helps to keep them ion mind when viewing the overall picture.

bug #343919 "Nvidia MCP67 AHCI ata timeout exception with data loss"

This could be a duplicate of bug #354668 "pausing during boot (several issues)" for which there is a very new upstream patch:

commit a682604838763981613e42015cd0e39f2989d6bb "rcu: Teach RCU that idle task is not quiscent state at boot"

that last link is broken....just fyi. and if you need me to do anything, just ask, i dont really understand whats going on in any of those bug reports xD

Ahh yes, too many bugs in the bug database... let's try again!

bug #254668 "pausing during boot (several issues)"

Yes, this looks like a duplicate of bug #254668.

Is there a way we could apply the patch to the latest jaunty kernel source and recompile it?

For now i'll try to set a custom DSDT as mentioned by 67GTA in bug #272247

if it is a duplicate, please feel free to mark it that way. I am just a lowly user, i honestly have no idea whats going on xD

Please don't mark this bug as a duplicate of others whilst I'm assigned to it. There are several potential causes aside from bug #254668, in particular there is an ongoing issue being looked at upstream into MCP67 issues of various kinds which could well be responsible but the situation appears confused for now.

If the RCU patch test kernels provided in bug #254668 comment #118 solve the problem then this bug can eventually be marked as 'Fixed', with a note as to why, but since the other bug has no confirmations that the RCU patches have been tested makring as a duplicate wouldn't be correct.

same here, still happining

I have the same problem with Jaunty 32 bit.

My notebook is an HP dv6000 series. With Nvidia to.

I have the same problem with Ubuntu 9.04.
My notebook is an HP dv6000 series, the model is hp dc 6725us, and with Nvidia.

This bug was filed against a series that is no longer supported and so is being marked as Won't Fix. If this issue still exists in a supported series, please file a new bug.
