Public bug reported: I have ubuntu 11.10 on a ZT laptop (like a Toshiba) and recently I have found that the system will not boot. The hard driver flickers, but no screen at all - no boot - nothing. I powered off several times and repeated. Nothing. Finally, I found that if I discharge the battery somewhat, enough so that the power light comes one (it was off before). Only then will it boot - without error messages. There appears to be a problem with the power management system so that if it is not charging (if it battery is charged fully), it will not boot up!
