Excuse me for the multiposting. I realize we have three chances: a) Use some tricks: the crews, the memory case, the black cover, the jumpers, the flat...shorted...wipe CMOS... Boom! Scroogle is our friend.
b) Stop engines: give us the san antonio-phoenix, bye bye birdie, welcome puppy, minix, Knuth, Chomsky, Von Neumann and the meteo-gang: back at the John Hopkins with C.S.Peirce. c) Straightforward. We have to take the last ACPI Bios (just for example,and for 1800, here: http://downloadnew.org/software/toshiba-satellite-1800-bios/by_downloads/ ). Old machines still "supported", but after this page (e.g.) http://www.ehow.com/facts_7735099_acpi-flash-bios.html , i've understood. But there is a problem, because I don't know IF the ACPI Bios follows the strictly (Intel!) rules used in the recent Linux distributions. The .pdf-attachment is very clear. Looking around these bugs, I fear the same old story: Snow White, the Apple (now...pretty inside!) and the Queen. Few weeks ago I went to a friendly technician I know since years taking the Toshiba: ok, leave...take a look...no problems. Few days after: well, don't know...b.t.w. this win7 is fantastic! You?? But what about your Linux and BSD installations, magic kalyway, deneb and so on? Now I see, I am the fool. And THEY(!) will sing: We're Only in it for the Money! ** Attachment added: "acpi_guideline_for_vendors.pdf" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/507723/+attachment/1867791/+files/acpi_guideline_for_vendors.pdf -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/507723 Title: New Install 9.10 No boot Bios block3 damaged error. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
