Hello, I've tried installing Ubuntu on my laptop but it has a couple of peculiar problems.
Firstly, it boots fine when I add the noapic or acpi=off commands at grub boot (unfortunately this disables the trackpad), but by experimentation I have discovered that there is another weird way to get it to boot: by closing and opening the laptop lid at some point during the boot process makes it boot up just fine, trackpad working and all.
Now my question is, is there any way for me to boot normally without manically closing and opening my laptop lid while booting?
