I am using a HP special edition Livestrong L2000 laptop. Theoretically, they are identical laptop. My laptop is equipped with an AMD Turion 64-bit CPU.
Ok, let me cut in the real issue.
I installed Ubuntu 5.04 (AMD64 64bits system) on my laptop long time ago and I was working fine. If I am right, the first kernel version I used was 2.6.14-8. Then, I kept my system updated. Everything was fine until I upgraded my bios from F.11 to F.13 (F.23 behave the same as F.13). The situation is that newer kernel (newer than 2.6.14-9) hang up after boot, but the oldest kernel 2.6.14-8 still works. I tried this many times and I was seeking for answers, but I got no clue. I was so frustrated and I deleted Ubuntu from my laptop.
I tried the latest Ubuntu Drapper LiveCD (Ubuntu 66.04 Flight CD4). With AMD64 LiveCD, F.11 bios works fine, F.23 freezes. I found your ubuntu wiki page after I met this problem and I noticed you were using X86 system. I tried it myself. With X86 (32bits) LiveCD, both bios works fine.
Conclusion :There is something wrong when you use a AMD64 system with newer bios version on a Compaq V2000 (HP L2000) laptop. What's more, this might be a bug inherited since kernel 2.6.14-9.
Could you please check with Ubuntu AMD64 team to figure out what is going on here.
Thanks a lot!
Best,
