Hi,
I was pretty impressed to see 11.04 installed on my friend's Dell inspiron. I took the Live USB and tried on my Toshiba L640(11.04 certified), but to my surprise it stalled in the purple screen with all dots under Ubuntu logo turned purple.
On next boot I pressed "Esc" and found it waits/stops with
stop ana(c)hronistic cron [OK].
Also there were a number of starting and stopping of the cron in each run.
I tried with several USB sticks. All of them worked in other PCs but none on mine. So the image is good. I tried to boot 10.04 using the same stick on my laptop and it worked i.e. USB boot works on this system. But with 11.04 both installation and live test fails to go past the purple screen.
I also tried with:
acpi_osi=Linux
acpi=copy_dsdt
Howevernone of them worked. Meanwhile I updated the bios. This too didn't result in successful USB boot. I am still searching for similar problems on the forum but none of them helps.
Can anyone suggest me a way out please?
Thanks in advance,
Deep
