Ubuntu – “FIXING RECURSIVE FAULT BUT REBOOT IS NEEDED!” During installation

11.0464-bitinstallation

I'm a big fan of Ubuntu. I've installed it on every computer I had. But they were always 32-bit computers. And I've never had an experience with 64-bit computers.

I've made a live USB and CD but with both I get the same error:

FIXING RECURSIVE FAULT BUT REBOOT IS NEEDED!

Hardware Specification:

  • Toshiba SDatellite L645D.
  • AMD Turion II P540 Dual-Core Processor.
  • 2.40 GHz.
  • 4.00 of RAM.

This is a bug according to what I've read on Launchpad:

The very last comment dated 16.06.2011 from Felix Griewald claims to have sorted the problem.

I confirm that the bug appears to be fixed in Linux Kernel 2.6.39

I installed the Ubuntu mainline kernel v2.6.39-oneiric and you also need fgrlx 2:8.850 (you can use the Ubuntu-X ppa).

Tested on Lenovo Y560 Tested about 3 reboots without AC plugged in - it seams to work.
