Yeh, which would be valid if only people with Ubuntu 8.04 were experiencing this issue, which is not the case since I've been seeing reports of this issue from people running all different types of Linux distros. If they are not prepared to investigate what is causing this issue then they might as

You'll see a line in /boot/grub/menu.lst that looks something like this: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-9-generic root=UUID=4c5d576a- 7d38-43b2-b1d0-9bb18fdae820 ro quiet pci=nomsi Just add the option to the end of the line, so that it looks something like: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.

Philip, this seems to possibly have something to do with ACPI (in part), which is the power management in general. It's either that, or it's the kernel recognizing the power supply much as it would recognize a usb device (since there's been reports that plugging in a USB device has much the same b
