Nightly hrev54134-x86 crashes after boot process

[stoltenberg]

Just wanted to try the hrev54134 on my vintage ThinkPad, but it crashes after the boot process and the (complete) array of icons. Safe mode runs fine.

How does it crash? Does it show any error?

[stoltenberg]

No error messages, it just freezes. Sometimes the "boot floater with the icons" moves to the right in front of the black screen, sometimes it shows the blue desktop with centered pointer and freezes there.

Try enabling "Fail-safe video mode" without Safe mode.

... give me a second ;-)

[stoltenberg]

Yes, some progress: It boots until complete desktop including menubar, icons and wallpaper, but freezes right here.

Try blacklisting all network drivers and see if that changes anything.

[stoltenberg]

Don't know how, but i've found a set of more or less network-related drivers and was able to boot with success. Any idea how to isolate the relevant driver(s)?

[stoltenberg]

I'm not 100% sure at this point, but especially the ipro100, which is essential for my machine, seems to be part of the trouble.

[pulkomandy]

I think I have an ipro100 machine somewhere here if closer inspection/debugging of that is needed. Booted fine last week but I had no ethernet cable connected to it.

[stoltenberg]

Good point. Tested without LAN-cable right now. Fascinating effect of a blue desktop with a black area at the bottom ;-)

[pulkomandy]

A syslog would probably help here.

If ipro100 was the issue, then this is almost certainly another instance of #17349. If it is not, well, hard to diagnose that without a syslog, which was never provided.
