New question #77610 on Ubuntu: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/77610
I'm having a problem with booting Ubuntu 9.04. When it boots it's like the power cord was pulled out. The computer pops off and the battery charger restarts i.e. a fully charged battery begins charging again (finishes very quickly). I have had to hit the power button as many as 10 times before the boot would finish. It seems to always fail at the same spot. Just after the GUI starts and the progress thermometer is about 1/2 an inch along. There are no errors displayed at the point of failure. During the grub load I get an "ACPI: Invalid PBLK length [5]" message whether or not the boot fails . The failure happens in both normal boot and recovery modes. I've tried to disable ACPI but it didn't fix the problem and has created another set of malfunctions. My guess is some software module is instructing the power control to reset when it isn't necessary. -- You received this question notification because you are a member of UF Unanswered Posts Team, which is an answer contact for Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
