Public bug reported: I attempted to install ubuntu 12.04 on an Acer TravelMate 8200, without success. Initially I would just get a black/blank screen after having chosen install language English and attempting to "Install Ubuntu".
Then I added the boot options "nosplash noquiet radeon.modeset=0" and could debug the problem, whereupon I discovered the following error: "firewire_ohci failed to link power status" I couldn't find any way to disable loading of firewire (1394), so I was forced to abort installation of 12.04 and had to install 11.10, which went totally fine, without problems, on the same laptop. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: I attempted to install ubuntu 12.04 on an Acer TravelMate 8200, without - success.
