Public bug reported:
Every version of Ubuntu until 12.04 has worked with this notebook. The
notebook is as follows: stock Lenovo 3000 C100 (the Celeron 1.5GHz
model) modified with 2GB RAM (the RAM has worked with past versions and
I ran 10.04 up to yesterday).
I can install from an "Ubuntu 12.04 Alternate CD," the problem seems to
happen as Ubuntu actually boots, and happens late in the boot process.
The system just "locks up" if I use an Ubuntu 12.04 live CD and the "Try
Ubuntu" or if I boot 12.04 after being installed using the Alternate CD.
I tried each of the boot options (putting an x beside noapic, nolapic,
etc.) and none seemed to help, but did reveal that it seems to crash the
moment after Ubuntu 12.04 doesn't see the broadcom firmware (b43). I'm
thinking it's maybe some bad code around this missing firmware. Of
course I cannot install the firmware since I can't currently get Ubuntu
12.04 to boot.
Cheers!
