In amilo 3438g laptop, pci=noacpi nolapic acpi=off gives additional error: BIOS bug, local APIC #0 not detected!... And frecuency scaling stops working.
None of the boot options pointed by Ben work, the devices that seem to have problems are: 0000:00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile PCI Bridge (rev d4) (prog-if 01 [Subtractive decode]) Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0 Bus: primary=00, secondary=01, subordinate=01, sec-latency=32 I/O behind bridge: 00001000-00001fff Memory behind bridge: fa900000-fa9fffff Prefetchable memory behind bridge: 0000000050000000-0000000050000000 Capabilities: [50] #0d [0000] 0000:01:07.0 RAID bus controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6421 IDE RAID Controller (rev 50) Subsystem: Fujitsu Siemens Computer GmbH: Unknown device 107c Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 169 I/O ports at 1420 [size=16] I/O ports at 1430 [size=16] I/O ports at 1440 [size=16] I/O ports at 1450 [size=16] I/O ports at 1400 [size=32] I/O ports at 1000 [size=256] Capabilities: [e0] Power Management version 2 Using kernel version 2.6.15-23-386 or 2.6.15-25-386. I believe this is some kind of kernel bug with these devices on different notebooks, and possibly there's no way to run RAID configurations on them. -- PCI error messages when booting https://launchpad.net/bugs/31185 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
