** Description changed: I believe this is a bit of a meta bug, and I apologize for that aspect. However, I want to collect the issues and resolutions I've found that make the HP NC6400 laptop bearable with Lucid. I had the same issues with Karmic, but didn't pursue them too seriously. First issue is that the hard drive has the following issue: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14543 The workaround is automatically running at boot the following script: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=25357 - Since I fixed that, I noticed another problem that I cannot identify that is triggered by plugging / unplugging the laptop's AC Power. As a result, I have disabled the following files by commenting out the following contents of /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/ powersave-policy-hda-powerdown powersave-policy-dirty-writeback anacron powersave-policy-sata-link-power - - I had remarked when monitoring the syslog from other computers that these were executed consistently before crashes.
