Lenovo z580 boots into kernel 3.2.0-36 very slowly

http://askubuntu.com – I have been having this trouble since I started using Ubuntu. Every time I attempt to boot into Ubuntu's kernel with a version higher than 3.2.0-30, my computer takes probably thirty minutes (or more) to boot. If I boot into a previous version of the Linux kernel, I can boot just fine. I have done a little research and haven't found anything meaningful. Personally, I have booted into the kernel the acpi turned off and it will boot fairly quickly. However, this is not something I want to continue doing as I bought this laptop for its computing power (Intel i-5 3rd generation overclocking a (HowTos)

Stories similar to Lenovo z580 boots into kernel 3.2.0-36 very slowly

New Lenovo Z585 A10 laptop.

I can boot the 64 bit Live CD fine - Try Ubuntu - dmesg contains lots of acpi stuff, Suspend is available etc.

When I do the install I am unable to boot without acpi=off in kernel line. Of course when booted I hav no suspend, no battery status etc...

Seems that casper is doinf a bunch of things on the Live CD boot that I am not able to do with my install.

Help !!

Problem with kernel package. 41 weeks 2 days ago

I am running Fedora 15 on a second machine.

I had trouble booting Linux and I found that while grub started off trying to boot vmlinuz-2.6.43, I had to backtrack to vmlinuz-2.6.42 in order to boot. rpm -qa | grep kernel shows both kernel packages installed and rpm -ql ... shows the newer kernel should be in /boot, but it isn't.

This is really starting to p*** me off. What the hell is the difference between the 3.0 and 3.2 kernel? It's obviously something quite important. I can not get Ubuntu 12.04 or Fedora 16 to boot. And I can only put it down to being something to do with the kernel used in 12.04.

In both Ubuntu and Fedora, I get the boot menu.

I have noticed some error during the Linux boot. They seem to continue to occur after the boot adding lines to the log every few seconds. Once booted this normally does not appear to be causing any problems. However, around 1 in 10 boots results in a kernel panic and the computer has on two or three occasions suddenly rebooted after being powered on for a number of hours.

Dear All, I had recently updated some packages on my system that created some dependency errors and latter error on when i tried to boot it was going into grub rescue.I booted with live cd and reinstalled grub.now iam getting boot loader and able to boot into windows xp but not into ubuntu.i tried both current and previous kernel version.system shows a black screen and gets stuck.

The last two kernel updates I installed freeze my computer when I try to boot them. I can still boot up with the third kernel option, but now I am afraid to install any new kernel updates, in case I lose the one version that still works from the boot-up menu.

I have no idea how to handle this - help, please?

Since kernel 3.3.x there are frequent kernel panics during the boot process. It seems to be a kernel problem since I downgraded to 3.0 and the problems are gone.

The kernel panics happen almost at every boot attempt. After 4 or 5 restarts the system boots normally. It also seems to affect only Sandy Bridge systems, and maybe Ivy Bridge too.

Last kernel I checked was 3.4.9 with the same results.

After recompiling my kernel, I copied the corresponding files to /boot, and my /boot directory looks like:

Then, I inserted a new item in grub, and /boot/grub/menu.lst now looks like:

After searching a lot, I found that someone mentions that maybe ACPI settings matter. So, I set ACPI to off.

Hello, Sometimes (out of every 5 boots or so), the boot process hangs infinitely about USB peripherals initialization.

System: Linux G-PC 3.6.7-ck1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Nov 26 21:54:56 EET 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

This is a custom kernel, but the same happens when using a 3.6.x kernel from Ubuntu's mainline kernel archive. The system is otherwise stable.
