(Posting to devel-discuss) Did your system work with the newest BIOS /before/ you upgraded to the newest kernel? If not (or if you don't know), I would say the issue is the BIOS, not Ubuntu. I don't know if these particular mailing lists are the most appropriate place for a question like this; just so you know, there are IRC channels and http://ubuntuforums.org for questions like these. Again, this is just my guess. -- Luke L. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
