I've just got around to installing this again and have used acpi=off this time, it installed without any problems, however, after a reboot I have:
ACPI: EC: acpi_ec_wait timeout, status = 0, expect event = 1 ACPI: EC: read timeout, command = 128 I can boot in recovery and choose 'boot normally'. I unplugged the battery charger and rebooted again, this boots up without errors. I tried this several times to check and can boot with none of the soft lock ups by having installed with acpi=off and no acpi_ec_wait error when booting with the battery charger disconnected. As soon as I plug the charger back in and reboot the errors return: ACPI: EC: acpi_ec_wait timeout, status = 0, expect event = 1 ACPI: EC: read timeout, command = 128 I have now tried this with both 32bit & 64bit versions, the same errors occur in both cases. I am using kernel 2.6.24-16 to install, the recent upgrade to 2.6.24-17 has not solved the problem. Please let me know if I can do anything else to make this bug report more complete. -- 8.04 amd64 install problem soft lockup in CPU https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220100 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
