I have this problem on a new Toshiba Satellite L500 with AMD Turion Ultra II x2 and ATI Mobility Radeon 4100 graphics. Can only boot 9.10 64-bit Ubuntu LiveCD or installed 9.10 64-bit Ubuntu OS if use acpi=off. Otherwise it will freeze with message "acpi:lnxvideo:' unexpected exit with status 0x0009".
Tried the following and they all do NOT fix the problem: - noapic - nolapic - uninstall splash screens - upgraded to kernel version 2.6.31 It's very frustrating because without acpi I don't get any battery monitor & various other power management things that are important for using laptop. Also I'd like to point out that if I weren't an experienced Linux user I wouldn't have known to try fiddling with the acpi options, or how to edit grub2 menu so that's the default. A "normal" user would have been completely at a loss here and thus might come away with a bad first impression of Ubuntu if they tried it on these new Satellite laptops, so I hope you are able to fix the problem soon. -- Boot halts on Toshiba L505 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/472183 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
