Hi Ian -
I tried the boot edit with no improvement. Still locks up requiring a hard
power down - restart.
Thanks,
-SM

Thanks for your bug report and for your contribution to ubuntu. In order
to determine if this issue is usplash related, would you boot your
computer with usplash disabled and then shutdown to see if you can
reproduce the issue? To disable usplash for a single boot, you can
follow these steps :
1.Press Esc during Grub boot delay to access the boot menu.
2.Select your actual Ubuntu boot line and press "e" to edit it.
3.Select the "kernel" line and press "e" to edit it.
4.At the end of the line, remove "splash" and "quiet" and
press "enter".
5.Type "b" to boot the custom boot line.

Dell C400 freezes - 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition

Status in Ubuntu: Incomplete
Bug description:
I downloaded the standard release (8.04 LTS Desktop Edition) and followed the
installation instructions installing into the partitions created for Ubuntu.
The basic configuration is dual-boot, Windows XP Professional and Ubuntu.
After anywhere from a few seconds to a couple of minutes (never more that about
three minutes), Ubuntu stops responding. No disk activity (according to the
disk activity light), no keyboard entries are recognized - nothing. Completely
"freezes". Hard power down is the only alternative.
The system is quite basic, 768Mb memory (up from 256Mb in hopes of fixing this
problem), internal wireless (works with Ubuntu!), no external keyboard, no
external mouse, no USB attached, no external display, new battery, good power
supply. 120Gb HDD with 40Gb given to the Windows partition and 80Gb for Ubuntu.
I sure would like to have Ubuntu as my primary travel platform!
