I managed to make my HP mini 311 work with info from this bug report, so here is how you can bypass the problem and install the 9.10 release.
- Boot your USB stick with Ubuntu UNR or Desktop version 9.10. Hit F6 and use expert mode. - Add these kernel parameters "noload=b43,ssb,b43-pci-bridge" and boot. - Install Ubuntu normally if it's not already install - Now we will blacklist these modules for the further boots, because the "noload" param only works for live CD/USB keys - mount the disk where you have installed ubuntu. - then as root do "chroot /media/yourdisk" - edit the file "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf" and blacklist b43,ssb,b43-pci-bridge - mount /proc and /sys - then run "update-initramfs -u" (if you have errors, you may need to rename /dev/null to /dev/null.old for the operation, then rename it back /dev/null) Here you go, you should be able to boot your Ubuntu 9.10 ! Everything is working well for me, with latest nvidia drivers (190.43), and the proprietary STA wifi drivers. sleep and resume works well too. This bug should not be in the next Ubuntu release since the kernel 2.6.32 added a nice support for the b43 low powered wifi card : http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_32#head- 2affc8330b04c39cec7879419f20cad25bf93d33 (look for b43) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- 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
