Same thing was happening to me on my HP dv6618. To fix it,
Code:
gksudo /boot/grub/menu.lst
Somewhere near the bottom you'll see something with kernels.
ie.
Code:
title Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-7-generic
uuid 4b08f1d9-824f-408b-8b26-b37453d11fd2
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic root=UUID=4b08f1d9-824f-408b-8b26-b37453d11fd2 ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-7-generic
quiet
At the end of the kernel line, add acpi=noirq so it becomes,
Code:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic root=UUID=4b08f1d9-824f-408b-8b26-b37453d11fd2 ro quiet splash acpi=noirq
et voila!
Note: Whenever you install a new kernel, you'll have to add the above fix to it's kernel line.
