I talked to someone who is more into Ubuntu than me, and happens to have the exact same computer, and he told me I had to use the following combination of flags at boot: acpi=force noapic nohz=off
With those, Oneiric boots fine, but that doesn't dismiss the fact it's still a regression from 2.6.31. I also attach the dmesg log from this boot from a live usb of Oneiric with those flags. It may help. ** Attachment added: "dmesg.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/893269/+attachment/2631322/+files/dmesg.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/893269 Title: kernel fails to boot: pci: 0000:00:09.0: address space collision: [mem 0x00007800-0x000078ff] conflicts with reserved [mem 0x00000000-0x0000ffff] since 2.6.32-2.2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/893269/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
