Ubuntu 10.10 [64 Bit] hang on boot

[m_e_71]

I modified the two following lines in the file /etc/default/grub

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=off"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi=off"

then I run update-grub.

Finally my awful F80S laptop works with ubuntu 10.10.

ANYHOW: now Ubuntu 10.10 does not suspend, hibernate, switch off automatically.

I think that the only solution could be to re-compile a kernel with asus-acpi driver, which is not enabled in 10.10. Did anyone try it?

Thanks,

Marco

Hello, been having the same issue on an ASUS X71SL laptop. There's a bug on launchpad related to it (actually more) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/626622, but there's no advance on it.

It indeed seems to be a lapic issue, and one specific to Ubuntu, as the latest openSuse, using 2.6.37 boots on my pc (try to see if it does for yours)

Oh, and acpi=off is no solution

Best thing is to get a launchpad account and start airing your grievances on that bug report, maybe we'll get some support from Canonical then (if they see a large number of people are affected by the bug)

Hi all, I had similar problem.

I set

pci=noacpi acpi_osi=linux

After appending this at GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT at /etc/default/grub and doing a sudo update-grub it worked. I even had installed smcfancontrol.0.3.2.zip which I don't no is required anymore. Since the default driver for dell obtained by enabling it from Additional Drivers is buggy for me. It completely disables 3D support, however fan seemed to be cool. So to find a better solution for fans, I installed smcfancontrol which I think did not work. The setting acpi_osi=linux was what helped my laptop switch fan from being cooler and wake up when needed. However to actually boot from hanging, pci=noacpi worked. I have not tested doing a hibernate and other, but three of my major problems of having a crappy graphics support, not booting to ubuntu 64bit and noisy fan are all solved.

Cheers!!

THANK YOU razorxpress!

I opened this thread in JANUARY 2011 and "pci=noacpi acpi_osi=linux" is the solution to the hang on boot on my ASUS awful laptop avoing disabling ACPI.


Anyway: I am going to buy another laptop. It won't be an ASUS for sure.

I SOLVED IT!!!!!

If you have an Asus laptop, or you have this option in BIOS CHECK IT!!!!!

Go to bios >
Security> I / O interface Security> "New interface card" or so. SET IT TO LOCKED!!!

After that everything went fine for me ^^

Booted properly

Hope it helps
