I am having the same problem but I have a modern motherboard. If I turn ACPI off in BIOS or if I add the acpi=off boot parameter, I can boot Jaunty but without one of the two it freezes at startup.
My motherboard is a Biostar TP35D2-A7 with an Intel Core 2 Duo E4500. I have attached a CPU-Z report on my hardware specs if that helps. ** Attachment added: "GARETH-HOME-PC.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/29486353/GARETH-HOME-PC.txt -- Computer won't boot without acpi=off option https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/386272 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
