Public bug reported: I try to startup the edgy beta desktop CD. This process freezes when the X server should be fired up. It seems to be a problem with a buggy ACPI impl in my laptop. On a running system I found two ways to solve this problem:
1. Use the vesa driver. AFAIK, the xforcevesa boot option is supposed to do exactly this, but it seems this doesn't work with the beta CD. 2. Load a fixed DSDT from http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/view.php?id=346 by putting the compiled DSDT into /etc/initramfs. This is a better solution as it allows hardware accelerated graphics even with my ATI chip. Would be nice to have this fixed for Edgy. ** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Freeze during startup of installer with edgy beta https://launchpad.net/bugs/63037 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
