Public bug reported: Basic hardware info:
MSI notebook, Model GT70-0NC-008US; tag under the battery shows GT70-0NC-494US Win 8 64 bit was pre-installed Intel Core i7-3610QM Processor, 2.3 GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670M 750GB HDD 16GB RAM No raid Am not running as a dual boot install. Am running 64 bit version of Ubuntu 12.10. As in summary, am unable to boot this system unless acpi=off and "quiet splash" is deleted from grub. This occurs with try it DVD, live USB and HDD installation. Also when installed to HDD. I am running this as the only OS, NOT a dual boot. I am able to boot, install and run 12.04 Precise 64 bit on this system, BIOS in legacy mode for install and running from HDD. Following steps in Debugging ACPT - Ubuntu Wiki (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingACPI) I have updated to the latest BIOS on the box. With 12.10 installed to HDD tried booting with all options given in the Wiki with these results: With acpi=off and "quiet splash" deleted, system boots ok and into usable environment. Note also that the Synaptics touchpad doesn't work even with Synaptiks package installed. Mouse works fine. With acpi=noirq and "quiet splash" deleted system starts to boot and stops with the following as last line: [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: 0x9904: Init table command not found: 0xA9 With pnpacpi=off and "quiet splash" deleted system starts to boot and stops with the following as last line, same as above: [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: 0x9904: Init table command not found: 0xA9 With noapic and "quiet splash" deleted, system starts to boot and stops with the following as last line, same as above: [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: 0x9904: Init table command not found: 0xA9 With nolapic and "quiet splash" deleted, system starts to boot and stops with the following as last line, same as above: [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: 0x9904: Init table command not found: 0xA9 In the troubleshooting steps I was unable to suspend or hibernate the system so am unable to supply a /var/log/kern.log.0 file. I have attached a file, msi_acpi_debug_files.tar.gz that has a copy of output from: uname -a, sudo lspci -vvnn, sudo dmidecode. I am unable to include a tarball of /proc/acpi directory as that directory doesn't exist - I presume that since I need to boot from the live USB with acpi off and/or having to boot without it the directory wasn't created. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: quantal -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1129511 Title: Unable to boot system unless acpi=off & "quiet splash" deleted from grub To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1129511/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
