Tried to add parameters "acpi=off, noapic, nolapic, nofb" in all combinations, system moves forward, but locks after showing "io scheduler cfq". I left it for 10 minutes there - still locked.

All tests were made with 64-bit OSes. + Vista running on machine is Business-64bit. I saw that some systems had problems with Fedora and problems were gone with BIOS update. But there is no new BIOS for my machine as far as I know. Its BIOS has limited entries. I tried playing with them - same results. Disk boots in AHCI mode for Windows, I tried both SATA and AHCI - no change. I tried also enabling / disabling EFI - still no change. Finally I search for any APIC or ACPI settings in BIOS but there are none. There is also an option in BIOS (which mainly enables/disables AHCI) that asks what OS you will boot (Vista/XP/Other) and I tried all three settings. I am stuck with Windows and an empty partiton waiting for Ubuntu... Since I could not see bash in ANY linux I tried up to now, to do any lsusb/lspci etc commands, I attach the .nfo file from Windows Vista. -- Ubuntu refuses to boot on Clevo M860TU barebone https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/285768 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
