[old_salt]

Wondered if anyone has experienced this problem;

Occurs after;
Installing Jaunty 64bit

System Specs

AMD 5800 X2 64bit 3.0GHz

WD 500Gb Drive Sata3
Seagate 1.5Tb Drive Sata3

Any ideas or recommendations as to maybe some kernel booting parameters I may need to add?

Turn off powernowd on start-up. /etc/rc.X. or the easy way:

Terminal:

sudo apt-get install rcconf
sudo rcconf

Hit the space bar on everything that has to do with powernowd (turn off cups too unless you need it) then press Tab to select OK then press enter.

Hi i just did the sudo thing but i still have the same problem, i tried to do the startup fix but it says something about path. This is my first time using ubuntu.

And on the rcconf window i took out anything that was about ACPI in my case there were two but that didnt work either

Hey there !

I upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 and the first time it worked really good but after updating i had the same problem with this firmware bug.


I tried:

sudo apt-get install rcconf

and

sudo rccon

then mark all with the spacebar and press tab and enter (ok)

but in my case it didnt work too and the problem is still the same:

The real strange thing about it is that ubuntu 9.04 did run perfect with my BIOS settings and so does Vista.



Well it would be great if somebody knows what to do to get ubuntu 9.10 run

thx
