Can't boot Ubuntu, new install with GMA600 graphics
I have a Viewsonic tablet with an Intel Oaktrail processor the GMA600 graphics processor. I read here that as of the 12.04 release, the driver for this processor would be included in Ubuntu, and it should work. However, after I installed 12.10, it will not boot.
First it gave me this error: Code:
[ <bunch of numbers>] ieee80211 phy0: uap0: changing to 2 not supported http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/12197 Then I tried to boot it in recovery mode, and it did the strange graphics thing which is described in the above document about the Poulsbo graphics where half the screen is distorted. Thanks for any help. |
The GMA500 is junk but I managed to get it working (2D only) on prior versions of Ubuntu with the (then) new in-kernel support. Try adding the "console=tty1" to the boot line manually from the boot screen. Then if that fixes it, do the update mentioned in the Ubuntu wiki.
I can't find that old netbook at the moment, but if/when I find it I'll do some testing. I suspect those messages are informational only - may be a problem with the network, or not. Sort the screen out and see what you get. Edit: See this for how-to on grub2 - go down to the "Editing the GRUB 2 Menu During Boot" section. |

I tried adding Code:
console=tty1 Anyway, it didn't work. It is still telling me over and over about 80211 and changing to 2 not supported. I'm not sure it is informational, since it says it over and over and just hangs there. It will say Code:
[ <bunch of numbers>] ieee80211 phy0: uap0: changing to 2 not supported Is there a way to disable the network adapter so it doesn't even try to load and maybe avoid the problem? Or does that not make sense? Thanks. |

But of course you have to know "some-module-name" in advance. Not much help. |

:doh:
Grub2 ... add it to the "linux" line after the "$vt_handoff. |
I'm sorry I went so long without updating. I am a student and this is the end of the semester, so I got rather caught up preparing for finals. But anyway, I was not able to make this work. I just haven't had time to write down all the error messages. I will revisit this thread when my finals are over and I have time to deal with the matter again.
Thank you very much for your assistance. I really appreciate it. |
