I have this exact same problem but it seems a bit intermittent. When booting from a USB stick to install Ubuntu it would only fully boot about 1 out of 8 tries. It would just freeze at different points of the boot process. Now with the installation process successfully completed it does not boot at all (recovery or default). In recovery mode it freezes at or just after loading b43-pci-bridge. Most frustrating as I can see lots of reports of other people running ubuntu fine on these laptops!
BTW I have the British version of the HP 311 (Compaq 311C). -- HP Mini 311 - Does not always boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/479597 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
