Very hard now. Just installed new BIOS version. Took me 2 days, really funny trying to get it installed on lInux. :)
Story is like this... 9.10 crashed after the updates from that day. The first thing I did, was trying to install the wireless driver, which started the KernelOops reaction. The wireless driver did install, was working, KernelOops turned up and started to give many stacktraces. I waited till it was done and rebooted. Managed to get in and started to update 9.10. It was a partial upgrade, resulting again in a reboot request, which I did. After those updates it started to give many crash reports, all pointing to a serious kernel issue. This is the report here. I still decided to reboot and my laptop went mentally insane. It managed to get to the start up screen, which was way out of propertion in it's graphics, to crash seconds after starting up the boot sequence. I was not able to enter 9.10 any more, so I made a bunch of fresh installs trying to get in. I managed partially after I installed start up manager, starting up in recovery mode. It still crashed, but I managed to get some info. What I could read in the last line is that 9.10 found a unknown BIOS version and crashed right after it. It also said something about being unable to read udev. I tried to use break option, which did not work, so I can not provide all info from starting up with the text mode. I decided to check on the Acer website and found out that I was running on a old BIOS version. I was running on v1.43, latest version is v1.45 for the 5715z. I have installed this one now, busy at this point with installing linux- image-2.6.31-9-generic alpha 5, the same version I used to reinstall before and I am not sure what will happen next after I reboot and install the updates that made my laptop crash. I will send out a new info text after I done with updating. -- [karmic] serious kernel issue acer 5715z https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/430306 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
