** Description changed: - Hello, - - There's a problem with ACPI subsystem in Linux kernel (3.5.0-18~ubuntu - and 3.6.3 mainline). The machine fails to boot without additional kernel - flags, that disable ACPI features. + With Quantal amd64, the machine fails to boot without additional kernel + parameters. This is reproducible in 3.5.0-18-generic 3.5.0-18.29 and + 3.6.3 mainline. This is not reproducible with Quantal i386. Here's more detailed description of dependency between used kernel flags and boot process: 1. acpi=off - every boot succeeds, but laptop heats very fast (CPU fan also is very loud) 2. acpi=noirq - not every boot succeeds (approximately 2 from 8 are successful. starting from 3.5.0-10~ubuntu kernel and 3.6.0 mainline, on earlier kernels - every boot succeeds) - 3. <no acpi flags> - can't boot at all There's an article on Ubuntu Wiki saying that linux on Dell XPS 15z should be booted with acpi=noirq parameter: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Laptops/Dell/XPS/15z Please see attached photos of screen with boot log when failed to boot.
