Hi,

I've had Ubuntu 11.10 working on my Asus EeePC 1005HA for ages. When I upgraded to 12.04 the Touchpad stops working (so no mouse). Ubuntu hasn't hung, you can tab around, launch the console, etc.

If I boot from the Installation CD, the mouse/touchpad does work. So I can successfully get through the installation procedure except that it does seem to hang at the very end when it's preparing for a reboot.

Something's changed in the hardware support from 11.10 to 12.04 and I can't understand what. I'm tempted to just put 11.10 back on but thought I'd see if anyone else has had the same problem.
