[Bug 89746] Re: HP Pavilion dv6103eu laptop - all Ubuntu versions gets frozen during X startup until I specify "noapic" boot option

2008-02-11 Thread Jack McDowell
Marcus, I tried installing RC1 (it compiled ok) but when I did the dpkg install of the new kernel I got a file not found (something about drivers), then a process is busy, then a failure... I noticed later that there was a dpkg update, but when I try a dpkg reinstall it tries to reinstall the kerne

I tested Hardy Heron Alpha 4 and it booted without any options, although it did stall for quite a while after renaming the WLAN, if anyone else would like to try it perhaps we could finally close this bug, kudos, Jack -- HP Pavilion dv6103eu laptop - all Ubuntu versions gets frozen during X sta

I disagree, I compiled 2.6.24-rc3 twice, and it still hangs up where it used to (restricted modules). I have a dv611?us turion X2. Also, take into account that if you compile your own kernel you will lose a lot of support from your distro, I have no sound, no wifi, and had to install the nvidia dri

I have a similar problem with a DV6000US, after installing gutsy, my wireless card disappeared. It is completely gone if I do an lspci. And starting with the switch on or off makes no position. BTW I also need to boot with noapic nolapic and irqpoll if I want the computer to boot up at all, Chee

Caliphra, do you mean that we should try the: Option "BusType" "PCI" for the fglrx? I have an nvidia card, and fglrx is for ati I believe, so unfortunately this won't help. But yes, I do have an X2 turion, which seems to be the main problem with the apic which dual cores need. I got my usb

The computer boots with noapic, but the bcm43xx chipset does not show up and irq7 (usb) becomes disabled... On a side note, the other options such as "acpi=noirq," etc which have been previously mentioned didn't work either. I hope someone can solve this, and if anyone would like me to test some

[Bug 89746] dv6000us Feisty and Gutsy issues

2007-09-12 Thread Jack McDowell
I have the same problem with a dv6000us laptop. I had feisty running 'ok,' it would boot about half the times, and decided to upgrade to gutsy to see if the problems would stop. With gutsy my broadcom card 'dissapeared' and did not show up on the lspci but everything else seemed to work, so I opted
