Same problem on Dell Inspiron 9300. Attaching screenshot of console when hung.

Same problem here with an Dell Inspiron 9300. What information do you need from me?

I have a similar problem on my IBM T21 laptop, but I don't know whether this is a seperate problem:

Since 2.6.20-12 (every -XX version before working fine), my laptop stops the boot process with a rescue shell, saying that fsck did not succeed.

Strangely, my root partition /dev/hda2 is mounted as /dev/sda2, though I surely have no SCSI devices.

Contact me if you need more information

Same problem here with Inspiron 9300

Same here, with Averatec laptop. (Dell knockoff in essence).

I can confirm this bug on a Asus W3000A.
from lspci:
IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801FBM (ICH6M) SATA Controller (rev 04)

Fails with the same error as in the foto above.

Judging from the photo above, and the "abnormal exit" message, I think this bug is somehow related to the also critical bug #84964, which involves 965 chipsets and ICH5, ICH7R and ICH8 controllers. However, on the bug's discussions, the Jmicron controller is mostly blamed, and not so much ICHx. Please have a look at this bug symptoms.

My Dell Inspirion 9300 works OK with the 2.6.20-9 from Herd5.

I can confirm the exact same behavior on my vaio fj3sw, with a sata hdd.
Here is the error message:
udevd-event[NNNN]: run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit

Same error on an HP NC4200

Same error on DELL D810. since last update; 2.6.20-11 works fine.

For the record, my Dell D820 (almost the exact same machine) is running *-12 fine. If someone wants to check the specs and see whats different, that might a good clue.

Hi Kevin, people could you attach the output from:

  lspci -v
  lspci -n

on the machine that /is/ booting, and 'gnu_lx', could you do this on your Dell model that isn't booting with -12.

I can confirm this problem on my Thinkpad Z60m

udevd-event[NNNN]: run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit

Kevin: Yup, that newer Dell is an ICH7 chipset. Newer model, newer chipset so makes sense that it isn't affected. It just appears to be ICH6 that is (PCI ID: 8086:2653).

Output of
lspci -v
lspci -n

lsvpi outputs, and yes it's ICH6 Family.

I also have this problem on a Dell Latitude D610 laptop. Here is the output of lspci using kernel 2.6.20-11

Beta is pending this fix, so the quicker I get confirmed tests, the better. Please email directly to <email address hidden>

Thanks! It fixes the problem here (Dell Latitude D610).

Booted successful on a Asus W3000A.

kernel of Ben Collins, works for me on DELL D810. thanks.

Thanks! the Ben Collins kernel also worked for me (Dell D610)

The fix works for me and resolvs some (previously hidden) problems
regarding proper DMA detection of my DVD drive. Good work, thank you!

I confirm that it works OK with -12.20 on Dell Inspiron 9300.

This now works on my Dell D610. Thanks for the quick fix!

This doesn't fix my problem unfortunately... See bug #94718.

Works for me, inspiron 9300

I am unable to boot into an installed Feisty Beta on an acer travelmate 270. I can boot the live CD and install goes ok. Afterwards I can't boot into the installed system - it hangs with the same error message described in this bug report:

       [udevd]: abnormal exit running '/sbin/modprobe'

I have seen a similar report related to a jMicron controller, but lspci on my system doesn't show any such controller. I also do not have any SATA drives on this laptop. What information can I provide that would be helpful to fix this?

Since 2.6.20-13-generic Feisty Fawn installs and boots on my Sony Vaio VGN-S580BH, which has a ICH6M-based sata-controller, on the sata-harddisk. I used the daily-built feisty ISO from 23th march 2007. So finally I'm able to run Feisty on the laptop, thanks for that!

10x Mirco,
I already upgraded to 2.6.20-13. Thanks to the great linux community,
there is also a patch for 2.6.20-12 which fixes this bug.
Regards
