Public bug reported:
This bug is the same problem as closed issues bug #8093 and bug #8289.
It may have been fixed before - it worked in 6.06 - but it has
reappeared and affects the 7.10 beta.
My machine (IBM ThinkPad model i1200 Series 1161-93G, DVD-ROM, 320MB
RAM, 20GB HD, latest BIOS) needs special kernel parameters to be passed
to boot successfully. Ubuntu 6.06 and 6.06-1 worked if I edited the GRUB
boot commands and passed the "irqpoll" parameter. If I did this to
enable the machine to boot from CD, the installer picked up the
parameter and included it in the installed system.
7.04 and 7.10 beta do not do this. The bare "irqpoll" parameter is no
longer enough; after considerable experimentation, I have found that I
now need to enter "acpi=force irqpoll" for a successful boot, but the
installation program does not pick this up and add it to the installed
system, resulting in an installation that will not boot.
