There you go.

Awesome. If you have time, could you possibly upload some x86 kernel packages too? Thanks again.

Could someone post a quick install to kernel patch guide for this? I've been wanting to install Ubuntu on my new laptop (L505-S5983) but am wary without the full picture...
Thanks in advance.

Press F6 at the beginning.
Choose ACPI=off.
Boot.
Install.
Boot into the hard disk.
Install my DEB files.
Open up the terminal.

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

Change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX back to nothing so you get:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

Restart. Done.

That's the easiest way to do it without having to compile the kernel from scratch. If not, then substitute the "install my deb files" for the walkthrough that I created earlier.

I'll see if I can get some time later tomorrow. Do you want it in 9.10 format (2.6.31) or 10.04 format (2.6.32)?

perfect! thank you.
I like to say I know just enough to make myself dangerous...

There you go.

These also work for me. Thanks.

9.10, please. Also, if you don't mind, I'd like to know how you did it, for future reference...

The speed up? Or the fix for the ACPI?

I was referring to getting the kernel to compile to ~30mb instead of the ~400mb that it compiles to by default. I haven't even been able to google that one....

Oh, just disable all the kernel hacking stuff (it's all debugging stuff.)

I created a new patched kernel:
Updated to 2.6.32.6
Still patched with ACPI
Patched to use the BFScheduler instead of the standard scheduler.

I'll see how that runs for a few days and report back.

As far as building x86 kernels, I need to do a little research. I've always failed at cross-platform compiling of kernels.

[Linux_Lurker]

Awesome, I'll get an x86 kernel compiled and uploaded some time this week. Thanks.

Here is an x86 version:
