I'm not sure exactly what it is, I just know i've tested other distributions such as fedora cores, and every single one of them I had to disable acpi (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface). All I know is I use a Toshiba Satellite A75 (which i'm on right now) and I looked into it for fedora and people were saying to disable acpi using pci=noacpi and my laptop does not freeze at all and works perfectly. The problem I was having though, was after about 20 minutes or so being loaded into any linux system on this satellite a75, everything would freeze except for the mouse. The mouse would move but clicking didn't do anything and there wasn't any keyboard response.
JSGosselin, edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst (either sudo it or go into root and edit it) and scroll down till you find title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.20-15-generic (should be this, but you may have a different kernel version). on the line that starts with kernel go to the end of the line (after "ro quiet splash" which should be at the end of the kernel line) add "pci=noacpi" without the quotes. Best copy and paste it so there aren't any typo errors. Save the file and reboot. -- Ubuntu 7.04 Freezes all the time in a Toshiba Satellite A75 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/109482 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
