I have the same problem with My Acer Aspire 4820TG For all kernels < 2.6.38.3 I can boot, but for any newer kernel it's just a blank screen.
This is only the case when I have switchable graphics enabled in BIOS (it boots perfect on just the discrete card) and am running the non- proprietary driver for my ATI5650 card. It boots using fglrx , but then vgaswitcheroo doesn't work. When setting ACPI=OFF my wireless is locked in off position as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/759103 Title: [STAGING] (Regression) Kernel panic with 2.6.38-8 and acpi on -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
