Public bug reported:
I just purchased two new HP computers as a present for my son with the
intention of building him a dual boot machine with Feisty and some
flavour of Windows. I traded the first computer in with a second,
hopefully Vista free machine. I could not get either Fiesty or Edgy to
boot up as live CD on the first machine. Feisty bombed with a message
stating tty was not on, or words to that effect. Edgy got to the live
screen OK, but the keyboard and the mouse were totally locked up. The
first computer was an HP A1740N Pavillion with Vista Home Premium; the
second was an HP M7650N MCE with Windows XP Media Edition. After trying
the first, with the total failures of the Live CDs, I thought I would
try the second, which was almost the same as my own machine purchased
about a year ago. The latter has been run as a dual boot XP MCE/6.10
and is now running Feisty Beta as the sole OS.
On the second computer, Feisty produced the same tty message; Edgy,
after selecting Live and Install, just hung up completely.
Question: I don't know much about hardware stuff, but could these
problems be being caused by the new SATA Hard Drives installed on the
newer machines, or is it just part of a greater MS conspiracy to shut
ubuntu out? This bug is critical.
