I found the following on a cached Google page, an
IRCBlog:
<yaaar>: I've had hoary on my roommates computer
for about 3 weeks. Working great. I reboot
just now and it hangs completely at "Starting
Enterprise Volume Management System"
<yaaar>: It's just sitting there with a flashing
cursor under "Starting Enterprise Volume
Management System..." ctrl-alt-delete does
nothing, and it's been sitting there for
6 minutes
<adamh>: yaaar: If you press keys, do you see
any response?
<yaaar>: i tried powering down and up again....
same thing
<yaaar>: adamh: yes, keys will come up. i can't
backspace them, as backspace prints out into
weird chars
<jwb>: yaaar: do you actually need evms?
<jwb>: jwb yaaar: reboot to single-user mode
and remove evms
(if you don't need it)
I suspect that the Ubuntu LiveCD may just not work
with some hardware, thanks to evms. I looked up
cheatcodes for KNOPPIX LiveCD, suggestions for the
Ubuntu LiveCD:
pci=biosirq
According to the KNOPPIX cheatcode list, this
is good for unruly hardware.
3
I'd be interested to see if it boots into
runlevel 3.
nodma
Possible theory here, based on some other
stuff I've read.
failsafe
Only if nothing else works, does very minimal
hardware detection
However, there are many people complaining on the
Ubuntu forums that many of the KNOPPIX cheatcodes
don't work on Ubuntu LiveCDs. The Ubuntu LiveCD may
have been a poor choice as a universal LiveCD to hand
out, despite its inclusion of Windows versions of
popular OSS Software.
