Just followed Luca's nice intructions: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/578506/comments/54 ( Thanks Luca ! ) but with a) using 3.5.7 as the kernel version b) this patch https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=25261 c) not adding vesafb and fbcon to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules The message: "ACPI: EC: input buffer is not empty, aborting transaction" I now gone, when I boot, and things seems to be stable so far. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/578506 Title: [Kernel] ACPI: EC: input buffer is not empty, aborting transaction To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/578506/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
