I unable to boot this system unless acpi=off and "quiet splash" is deleted from grub. I am running this as the only OS, NOT a dual boot. I am able to boot, install and run 12.04 Precise 64 bit on this system, BIOS in legacy mode for install and running from HDD. Following steps in Debugging ACPT - Ubuntu Wiki (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingACPI) I have updated to the latest BIOS on the box. WORKAROUND: Use legacy boot mode. WORKAROUND: With 12.10 installed to HDD tried booting with all options given in the Wiki and with acpi=off and "quiet splash" deleted, system boots ok and into usable environment. With acpi=noirq and "quiet splash" deleted system starts to boot and stops with the following as last line: [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: 0x9904: Init table command not found: 0xA9 With pnpacpi=off and "quiet splash" deleted system starts to boot and stops with the following as last line, same as above: [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: 0x9904: Init table command not found: 0xA9 With noapic and "quiet splash" deleted, system starts to boot and stops with the following as last line, same as above: [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: 0x9904: Init table command not found: 0xA9 With nolapic and "quiet splash" deleted, system starts to boot and stops with the following as last line, same as above: [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: 0x9904: Init table command not found: 0xA9 In the troubleshooting steps I was unable to suspend or hibernate the system so am unable to supply a /var/log/kern.log.0 file. I am unable to include a tarball of /proc/acpi directory as that directory doesn't exist. --- ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: lou 1920 F.... pulseaudio DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=13a3d49b-35d0-4f55-8983-20577f3f3704 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Release amd64 (20121017.5) MachineType: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd.
