I believe the problematic kernels do actually boot. It just takes 12 to 13 minutes. dmesg shows several 120 second timeouts. Here is an excerpt that shows the final timeout and then (presumably) the error that is related to the hang. [ 840.304049] INFO: task swapper/0:1 blocked for more than

If the battery is removed from the laptop, then it will boot and reboot normally in a few seconds. Another observation is that after the slow boot, the line "ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT1] (battery present)" shows up twice in dmesg. Once early on and again after the timeouts and AE_AML_INFINITE_LOOP AC

My mention of the change to battery.c was actually between ubuntu kernels 3.2.0-29 and 3.2.0.30 (ref browsing kernel.ubuntu.com/git) .

I built a stock linux kernel from the latest at kernel.org (3.9.0-rc1) and it has the same slow boot problem. One time I booted in recovery mode and it was actually quick. I will report if this is consistent or just a fluke after more trials. But in normal mode it is slow, about 20 minutes, and

Here is a possible workaround. After reading up some on ACPI, I decided it was that the system got stuck in the BIOSs’ ACPI code. This is what the error message showed and I also came to the (possibly wrong) conclusion that this error was there all along and other kernel changes actually fixed so

The downside to setting legacy is that Windows cannot be loaded from the grub menu. The upside is that the little nuvo button next to the main power button on the Z580 makes it easy to get into the bios without having to hit DEL or F2 or something before a timeout. So to switch back to booting Wi

Yes I did, but I wanted the grub menu to still have the option to boot without using the patched DSDT. I put the patched DSDT in /boot/mydsdt.aml and changed /etc/grub.d/10_linux per the diff/patch below. This was to 12.04 so 10_linux may be a little different in 12.10. I also have to watch o

Thats good and really the way you have it is all you need. I think you might need to re-edit grub.cfg whenever the kernel or grub tools get updated but that is not a big deal. Tom On 4/21/2013 3:11 PM, Jon Baca wrote: > I am always booting in UEFI mode. I put the patched DSDT in the same > loc
