Public bug reported: After starting up my laptop which is running the latest 8.04 development branch, the kernel displays the following message:
Starting up ... [ 0.000000] ACPI: DMI BIOS year==0, assuming ACPI-capable machine After GRUB started booting, and before usplash is started. This message displays for about three or four seconds, and then Ubuntu starts and works normally. I suspect that these three/four extra seconds add delay to Ubuntu's startup. I don't get why it is assuming that my notebook is ACPI-capable, of course it is because it's not even two years old yet, it's a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo 1505 Pi - further information can be found here: http://www.fujitsu-siemens.nl/Resources/55/533852347.pdf - with a Core 2 Duo T5500. If necessary I'll be prepared to provide additional information, of course. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Low Status: Invalid ** Description changed: After starting up my laptop which is running the latest 8.04 development branch, the kernel displays the following message: Starting up ...
