Concerned with installation of 2.0

Postby caseyann » Thu Nov 13, 2008 10:57 am

Hey there,
First, I wanted to say I'm really impressed with the Ultimate Edition and this fabulous website!...All I can say is WOW and 4 PAWS up =^..^=

I want to upgrade to 2.0, but I'm concerned with an issue I had when trying to upgrade to Intrepid Ibex. I'm wondering if anyone has encountered the same/similar problem when installing Ultimate Edition 2.0?

Here is the issue:
When booting the following error occurs:
[0.004000] Aperture beyond 4GB. Ignoring.

My system fails to boot completely.

The problem seems to be with AMD 64 multicore, and any amount of RAM. There is a bug report on launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/271070.

I'm sure this is a Ubuntu Intrepid bug, and TheeMahn solved the issue in Ultimate Edition 2.0, but I wanted to make sure before I upgraded :)

Any help, comments, advise would be greatly appreciated.

Caseyann

I've installed Ubuntu 8.10 on an AMD64 and had no problems. Maybe it's isolated?

I would ignore that bug. Most issues with installing Ubuntu are user related!!! It is the easiest operating system in the world to install. The only issues you may run into are hardware and there will probably be a fix on this forum somewhere!! Feel free to post any issues you have no matter how simple they may be. You will get an answer very quickly, usually!!

I looked that bug over, it is a Triage BTW... Ultimate Edition 2.0 has the "newest kernel" newer then intrepid has, so this bug indeed may have been addressed, most of what I read on it, it is not a "show stoper", what I would suggest is to try the live disk and if you make it to the desktop you can ignore the error, this is why they set importance of the bug to low, the ones that it hangs it appears to be bios / kernel related.

Meaning you would have to flash your bios to make it go away (this is heavy and not suggested unless you really know what you are doing).

Another thing you can try is noacpi in your kernel.

Sorry I could not be of more assistance,,

There is a bug reported on this, however some people cannot boot after this. I too have this problem, then it drops me into busybox when initrd fails! So I don't get to experience Ultimate Edition 2.0 at all at the moment :(
So I'm having to use windows @ the moment, which is a poor substitute for any version of Utimate Edition, what a bummer :evil:

guess it's a prob with one of the new modules in the 2.6.27.x kernel?

I, too, have had this issue ... and yes, it is not a shows topper. And it is a multi-stage occurrence that is irritating ... but not insurmountable. This is what I must do to get around it ... pretty basic and certainly not technical, but it works ... and discovered by accident and in frustration to get a boot-up ...

Waiting a minute or so after getting the "Aperture beyond 4GB. Ignoring." message (sometimes long enough to brew another espresso), I hold down the ctrl key 'til the boot process continues ... only a second or two. At a couple of other points during the boot process I also experience an extended pause and use the same method to continue booting, eventually getting a full boot and all is well. No further problems occur ... there are no other errors or malfunctions ...

Not sure what the problem is but it has happened after three fresh installs, so it's a pretty consistent error ...
