guydog, You don't have to connect an external monitor and change the kernel line. Just doing one of them will do. I suggest that you try the first option and see if the system will boot with a live cd. If it doesn't then we probably don't have the same problem.
How to change the kernel line is described in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions >Another, maybe trivial, question: with your workaround all the problems described in this discussion will disappear or not? I still get the "acer-wmi: unsupported wmi-interface" line but after that the system boots and seems to be fine. The workaround didn't work for jack bakunin so it's no guarantee that it will work for you. -- 10.04 live cd doesn't works in acer travelmate 243LC https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541861 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
