Hi, I've got same model laptop and was not able to install any recent Linux distribution on it due to this bug. Some of my findings: X/K/Ubuntu 8.04.1 froze at random place on Live CD bootup splash screen (nohz=off highres=off helps to get through this). Ubuntu 8.10 same as Hardy (with nohz=off ...) lock at point where X should start (mouse cursor works, keyboard does not respond. I am able to boot and install if acpi=off parameter is passed (but then wireless card does not work). I was able to boot live cd into recovery mode, and "init 5" to get X running. Haven't tried installing though.
When in Live CD recovery mode I was not able to do: # ddcprobe # get-edid | parse-edid no required packages installed and apt-get does not find them. Next week i'll probably be able to do more testing. ** Attachment added: "Xorg log in Live CD recovery mode +init 5" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19437540/Xorg.0.log -- Kubuntu live CD (and install) hangs during boot on Vaio PCG-K215Z [Radeon 9200] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/221329 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
