Problems With Installing Lubuntu 16.10 on Toshiba Pavilion A105-S2236
Posted: Wed Mar 29, 2017 7:12 pm
I am running into some problems with installing this to a somewhat dated laptop. I couldn't find anything relating to my problem anywhere else so I decided to ask. I had a bootable usb drive with Lubuntu 14.04 laying around so I tried that first. While booting, I cannot remember exactly what it said but something along the lines of "watchdog detected hard lockup on cpu 0". I thought it was my usb or the version of Lubuntu so I created another one with the latest build. I got a similar error and I have ran into a brick wall. Any thoughts on what this error means?
[ 10.882248] scsi host4: runtime PM trying to activate child device host4 but parent (1-4:1.0) is not active
[ 11.337055] NMI watchdog: Watchdog detected hard LOCKUP on cpu 0dModules linked in: radeon uas i2c_algo_bit usb_storage ttm drm_kms_helper syscopyarea sysfillrect sysimgblt fb_sys_fops 8139cp pata_atiixp mii sata_sil video ati_agp f jes
It just hangs there forever. I did not know where to put this topic but I think it may be hardware since of the mention of Radeon and ATI, leading me to a graphics card problem. I did not have this problem before while installing on other computers so when I looked it up, a bunch of threads containing errors from watchdog were related to kernel problems and whatnot. Other threads saying after they updated ubuntu that the error was there. Well I can't even access Lubuntu through the USB or install it without this error popping up. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot or do I just have a lost cause on my hands?
Additional Information: The system is a Toshiba Pavilion A105-S2236. I know it comes on an Intel Celeron M but I cannot find specific specs. In the BIOS menu, I have around 512 MB of Ram. The USB was created with the Startup Disk Creator that comes bundled with Ubuntu 16.04. The Lubuntu download of the build is "lubuntu-16.10-desktop-i386" and it is the 32bit iso. The hard drive has a somewhat in tact install of Windows Vista but it hardly even gets past loading and when it does, there is a password on it. I got this laptop from a friend of mine and he does not know the password either because it was his nannys'. But I do not want Windows, I want lubuntu because it is more up to date with programs and such. Answer as soon as possible. Sorry, I am new to this error. Thanks
