I have a dell studio xps 1340 Same type of failure with both arch and the latest ubuntu live cd I made it boot up with using and adding acpi = off pnpbios=off to the boot options I haven't tried an install yet, but probably you will need to add this to your default boot options for your new install to work as well. I will try it later in the next couple days and post back -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/989677 Title: kernel panic with ubuntu 12.04 install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/989677/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
