Michele. This problem appears to be in other distros too. Its something wrong with the linux kernel I switched to arch linux... This problem is still there. But its not the hardest thing to fix. You need to find a custom DSDT file that is made for your laptop and tell the kernel to use it. I was able to get ubuntu 8.10 on my laptop by telling it to boot with 'acpi=off noapic'. After it installed I was able to compile my dsdt and tell the kernel to use it. Then I restarted and everything worked fine. I ended up switching to Arch Linux. I wanted to have a speedier and more customizable system. The arch linux installer asks you for a DSDT if you wish. Its kinda nice.
I would suggest looking on the ubuntu fourms for a DSDT fit for your laptop and how to compile and enable it. -- Live CD won't install on Acer Aspire 3050-1922 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191871 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
