The Intrepid Kubuntu 8.10 seems to work well on my laptop compaq-F733au (motherboard MCP67MV) except that it halts at several occations while booting. I have to press a key every time to continue the booting process. This is true even if I boot with livecd kubuntu 8.10. It seems there is a bug in the Kernel regarding acpi. Once I disabled the acpi (menu.list acpi=off), the boot process goes smoothly. However, the battery status and similar jobs gets disabled. I read somewhere in the internet that this bug is in the particular kernel version and affects this particular motherboard MCP67MV. I have tried three Kubuntu 8.10 releases (i) beta release, (ii) RC and (iii) released versions. All of them gives the same boot problem. Since I believe it is a kernel problem, it must also exist in other Intrepid versions of Ubuntu.
