Ubuntu 14.04 system hangs after installing pam module for ldap client with intel_rapl: no valid rapl domains found in package 0

Solution 1:

The system is not hanging. Just wait for a few minutes and the boot will continue. When booted into the system, edit your /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and add blacklist paevm to the bottom of the file.

Solution 2:

I got it fixed by adding these three lines to the end of the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file:

  • blacklist intel_rapl
  • blacklist the_module name
  • blacklist i2c_piix4
