My girlfriends little sister needed a laptop for internet office and some other small things. I've been watching Ubuntu for some time and i downloaded it an hour ago. I came across this problem as well.
I have a P3-800 old laptop that has been doing service for some time. I found my solution when i added the option (via F6 in bootup menu) all_generic_ide; this resulted in an error and the message "try the option irqpoll" Instead of adding "all_generic_ide" i added "irqpoll" and the little creature started living suddenly... hoping this will help others. -- boot - /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/96084 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
