md_5, thank you for your comment. So your hardware and problem may be tracked, could you please file a new report with Ubuntu by executing the following in a terminal while booted into the default Ubuntu kernel (not a mainline one) via: ubuntu-bug linux
For more on this, please read the official Ubuntu documentation: Ubuntu Bug Control and Ubuntu Bug Squad: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/BestPractices#X.2BAC8-Reporting.Focus_on_One_Issue Ubuntu Kernel Team: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelTeamBugPolicies#Filing_Kernel_Bug_reports Ubuntu Community: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette When opening up the new report, please feel free to subscribe me to it. As well, please do not announce in this report you created a new bug report. Thank you for your understanding. Helpful bug reporting tips: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** Description changed: - Same issue as experienced here: - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1072891 - - I have been asked to report it as a new bug. - System will not boot without 'acpi=off' as the parameter. WORKAROUND: Adding 'acpi_backlight=vendor dell_laptop.backlight=0' instead of 'acpi=noirq' as the parameter works.
