Public bug reported: This problem exits in both Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) and Ubuntu 9.10 Alpha 6 (Karmic).
Ubuntu hangs during startup with if I have either a USB mouse or keyboard plugged in. My current workaround is to have both plugged into their respective PS/2 ports. This only happens with a USB mouse or keyboard plugged in, boot is fine if I have a USB memory key plugged in, for example. The problem manifests itself in different ways depending on boot options and version of Ubuntu. To sum up: 32-bit text install CD - hangs at Choose Language page 32-bit text install CD with acpi=off - the error message "powernow-k8: Your BIOS does not provide ACPI _PSS objects in a way that Linux understands. Please report this to the Linux ACPI maintainers and complain to your BIOS vendor" flashes, then install hangs at Choose Language page 32-bit regular install CD - hangs with the message "Starting bluetooth" 32-bit regular install CD with acpi=off - eventually get the first install desktop page but system hangs, mouse and keyboard unresponsive My hardware: AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ processor Asus M2NPV-VM motherboard (GeForce 6150 NForce 430 chipset) - flashed with the latest BIOS version 1401 dated 2008/08/25 4 GB RAM eVGA GeForce 8800 GT PCI-e video card I'm guessing the "ACPI _PSS objects" error message appears to be most informative one. If the problem is the BIOS provided with my motherboard, how should I report this problem to Asus so that it gets fixed? Any patches or updates I could do to fix this problem on my system?
