Public bug reported: Using Lucid Netbook Edition, kernel 2.6.32-16-generic, all updates installed until now
Asus EEE 1201N (Atom 330, Nvidia ION) Bios-Version: 0324 Symptoms: Rebooting from Linux when on battery causes bios settings to be reset. Additionally, only 768mb of RAM are detected to be usable (though 2Gigs are installed). Applying settings in Bios and restarting gives back full 2Gig of RAM, and everything works as expected until restarting from Linux again. When working with AC-power the bug doesn't show up. Other users detected this to be a problem with brigthness-setting, see http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.eeepc/2923 or http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?board_id=20&model=Eee+PC+1201N&id=20100211135511828&page=1&SLanguage =en-us This looks like to be a bug in the bios of the 1201N, but working with windows (and changing brightness there) does not reset the bios. So there must at least be a workaround. Steps to reproduce: Boot with a 1201N Change brightness Disconnect AC-power-source if connected Reboot Regards, Markus ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: Using Lucid Netbook Edition, kernel 2.6.32-16-generic, all updates installed until now Asus EEE 1201N (Atom 330, Nvidia ION) + + Bios-Version: 0324 Symptoms: Rebooting from Linux when on battery causes bios settings to be reset.
