Thanks for the details, Mario. Apparently my CPU has the C States thing, but yours does not, but the clue as to who does and who does not isn't obvious. The Dell Tech is going to follow up to find out.
So anybody wanting to reproduce my problem will need a fancier CPU than yours, but it isn't yet clear if the upgrade all the way up to the fanciness of mine is necessary. -- Jaunty will not boot on Dell Optiplex 760 unless hpet=disable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/348694 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
