Sorry I haven't been back for a few days. @dnl
Sure, here is my information: Model: AOA 110-1698 (8.9") BIOS: v0.3301 SW: ubuntu-9.04-netbook-remix-i386.img Status: exhibited issues until 'pciehp.pciehp_force=1' was used in the kernel boot command. After this it worked perfectly, minus the display of extra kernel messages during startup and during wake-up after suspend. @John Hart Hi! Yes, if you apply the 'pciehp.pciehp_force=1' only during the Grub edit screen it will only work that one time. This is good for testing, but not great if you want to include that boot option permanently. The 'sudo vi' routine mentioned above works,... just as long as you know how to use vi. I for one do not so I just prefer to use gedit (the real name for "Text Editor"). :P Now as for how to modify the file in /boot/grub/menu.lst, I offer three options. Pick the one you're most comfortable with. :) OPTION 1: Open the Terminal via Accessories>Terminal and then type (or copy-n-paste) the line "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst". It will likely prompt you for a password. After which, the menu.lst file will open -- if you drop all the way to the end of the file, you should see the boot options available (the first line should start with something like "title Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-11-generic"). You will want to append that code right after the kernel line, which ends with "ro quiet splash" so that it becomes "ro quiet splash pciehp.pciehp_force=1". Then save and reboot your Acer. OPTION 2: Same as OPTION 1, but instead of going through the Terminal, you can just press ALT+F2 to bring up the Run window and type in "gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" to open the file automatically. Or just put in "gksu gedit" if you want to open the Text Editor with Root access only and then navigate to /boot/grub/menu.lst yourself using File>Open. This is particularly handy if you don't like hanging around terminal windows -- but by the sound of it, you don't seem like someone who's afraid of the CLI. :) OPTION 3: This is a bit dangerous, but in the same ALT+F2 Run window, you can type in "gksu nautilus". This will open up your file manager with Root Access. Here you can navigate your entire system being able to add, edit, or delete anything with absolute impunity. Just go to the /boot/grub folder, open menu.lst, make your changes, save and you're done! :) Just be sure not to TOUCH anything else while in this mode as this is the perfect environment to,... *cough cough*... accidentally delete your one and only kernel. This is only recommended if you want the absolute comfort of a GUI option, are very very careful, and/or want the educational experience of navigating the inner recesses of your file system. ;) And that's all I can offer, the rest is up to you.
