I had the same problem with my 8.10 distro on same laptop model, just edit (w/ sudo) "/boot/grub/menu.lst" without the quotes, and if you scroll down a little you'll see a list of system kernels and more, i.e.
## ## End Default Options ## ## title "System Name, kernel version" uuid "numbers-and-letters" kernel "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-xx-generic root="uuid" ro quiet splash initrd "/boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-xx-generic" quiet Just add "nolapic_timer" without the quotes at the end of each kernel path , i.e. title "System Name, kernel version" uuid "numbers-and-letters" kernel "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-xx-generic root="uuid" ro quiet splash nolapic_timer initrd "/boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-xx-generic" quiet Save and reboot :) This should fix your problem. -- ubuntu wont load properly on a Compaq Presario F700 (F756NR) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/287080 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
