SebKaine · 2012-10-31 15:52:08

Hi guys !

I've try to install #! 10 on a new PC, intel 180GO SSD drive + atheros AR8151 Ethernet were not recognized at all. Same problem with Debian 6.0.

So i try with #! 11 the installation just run perfectlty, but i'm now unable to boot on it. it freeze during the system loading. I'm also unable to boot on recovery mode.

I've got the following error :

Waiting for /dev to be fully populated ...
[4.808135] [drm] nouveau 000:01:00:. Unknow i2c port 51
[4.808200] [drm] nouveau 000:01:00: 0x84C7 : failed parsing init table opcode : INIT_I2C_LONG_IF -19

Do you guys know if this can be solve or if its a Hardware problem with no solution.

Thanks for your helps !

Cheers

Does booting from live medium work?
If it does, try posting output of

lspci -knn

If not, can you give us a link to the specs of your computer?

thanks for your help xaos52 ! smile

well when i try to boot with the live CD i get exactly the same error.

i have install sucessfully #! 11 on the same machine in VirtualBox running under windows 7.
the virtualBox install work smoothly , the internet is also working fine.

when i make a

lspci -knn

on the virtualBox install i get this :

i've google a little ... and a bunch of guys look to have the same problem on debian squeeze when their ethernet driver is not recognise. "The installer is unable to proceed because the process (ethdetect) which detects all network devices never returns control to the installer" it could be my case too ... smile

EDIT :
I think this could be a solution to my pb
http://mindmapapp.blogspot.fr/2012/01/u … rd-on.html

but i have no idea on How to get my hand back on the command line Ctrl+Alt+F2 just do nothing ... smile
So if you guys can just tel me how to start #! in command line without the ethernet device evaluation it might help ...

I've also try to disable my ethernet card in the bios, and most of the exotic devices but the problem remain the same ... smile so its kind of hard to correct any problem cause :
- in normal boot , #! don't give me the hand back on the command line so i can't access to the shell
- in recovery mode the grub command is ro single so it should start normally in console mode , but again it freeze with no access to the shell (thats the most obscur part to me ? smile why #! refuse to start in recovery mode ?)
- in Live CD! it also freeze so i can't do any rescue

Do you guys have any idea or tricks to access the command line of my #! , i'm not a linux expert so maybe i miss something very simple ! But if i have no way to acces my #! console, i would arrive to the conclusion that i'm really fu@#* smile

Thanks for your help !

Unfortunately the output in the virtual machine is not optimal. Do you have a so-called hybrid graphics adapter? It means, you can choose between two graphics cards. If yes, try to disable the nVidia card (that's the nouveau error that hangs the boot)

Try adding

nomodeset nouveau.modeset=0 i915.modeset=1

to your GRUB kernel boot line. The last entry (i915.modeset=1) is just a guess, it might work without, or with, or with "i915.modeset=0" -- really no idea without knowing the gfx card wink

MachineBacon You are great !

i wasn't expecting a graphic pb on this one, but in fact you were absolutely right
- i have the intel internal GPU of my i7
- i have an Nvidia Geforce GTX 550 TI

well i disable the nvidia card and boot on the intel GPU and #! was ok to BOOT !

big surprise #! love my atheros ethernet card and my intel ssd so the problem wasn't here.
i couldn't have figure that nouveau = nvidia by myself smile thanks again for this !

now i have to try to install the nvidia driver and see how it goes ...

Cheers

EDIT :
Well i follow this tutorial from hardran3
http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … an-stable/

and now everything works find ! So thanks a lot for your help guys ...

I would like to know just for personnal knowledge ,
if there is a way to access the linux shell when
- normal boot freeze
- recovery mode freeze
- liveCD freeze

is there a magic command like CTRL+ALT+F2 for ex ? or a GRUB command ?
or can i assume that there is no way to access the shell until you solve the hardware pb ?
