Public bug reported: Binary package hint: powernowd
I don't know this for sure, but I think this problem has something to do with powernowd. A time ago, I selected parts and bought a new computer. I wanted to install Kubuntu 6.10 amd64 on it. But when I was starting the Live CD, at the rules: [{numbers}.{numers}] ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x9F0 ctl 0xBF2 bmdma 0xE000 irq 209 [{numbers}.{numbers}] ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x9F0 ctl 0xBF2 bmdma 0xE000 irq 209 it stopped. So at first I thought that it was something with my SATA-II harddisk. But with the bootoptions noapic and nolapic I could start the cd. But at random moments it freezed. It did also with my 32 bit Ubuntu 6.06 live cd and also with ACPI APIC support disabled in the BIOS. The I thought it was the onboard video card and so I installed Kubuntu with the Kubuntu 6.10 alternate amd64 CD. That worked and I could also boot without problems. But last weekend I wanted to install GNOME. But after that my mouse disapeared(not if I executed startx in the recovery mode) and I had that weird freezings again. After a lot of tries(including a deletion of .kde(after I copied it(wich I managed to lose)) I saw that I had installed powernowd with the GNOME things. When I removed it, I losed the freezings. I don't now anymore how I returned the mouse, but that's also fine now.
