Hi Nelson, Sorry for the delayed response. To permanently add boot options, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add the option you want to the appropriate kernel line in the file.
And just to clarify, you tested Hardy with the patch applied (and without needing to use acpi=off) or you just test Hardy with no patch and used acpi=off. I have noticed that the patch has made it into the upstream kernel. I'll include the upstream git commit id and description below. Care to maybe test the Intrepid Ibex 8.10 kernel (without adding acpi=off)? It was most recently rebased with the upstream 2.6.25 kernel (which contains this patch) and is currently available in the following PPA: https://edge.launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive If you are not familiar with how to install packages from a PPA basically do the following . . . Create the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kernel-ppa.list to include the following two lines: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kernel-ppa/ubuntu hardy main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/kernel-ppa/ubuntu hardy main Then run the command: sudo apt-get update You should then be able to install the linux-image-2.6.25 kernel package. After you've finished testing you can remove the kernel- ppa.list file and run 'sudo apt-get update' once more. Please let us know your results. Thanks commit d0ce46f550ebbd765881e8c48f43b66285d798b0 Author: Zhang Rui <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sat Feb 23 01:53:09 2008 -0500 ACPI Exception (): AE_NOT_FOUND, Processor Device is not present (update) update cfaf3747ff3d431fba33f75083b7f50f58ae22ff ACPI: ACPI Exception (): AE_NOT_FOUND, Processor Device is not present is_processor_present is only called in the processor hotplug case, and _STA method is mandatory at this time. We should ignore those processors that are disabled in the MADT and don't have _STA methods. Because they will never exist in this system. For the processors that don't physically exist but can be hot plugged later, we still need this debug info. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8570 Signed-off-by: Zhang Rui <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- Live CD won't install on Acer Aspire 3050-1922 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191871 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
