I can confirm this bug on the 8.04 release with kernel 2.6.24-16, on my Sony Vaio VGN-C25G. Removing "quiet splash" from the booot command, and removing the power cord has allowed it to boot successfully (?).
My CPU and GPU seems to be running hotter than usual though. -- [Hardy] ACPI Embedded Controller (EC) stops boot when kernel boot 'quiet' option is enabled or AC power is connected https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191137 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
