It continues after that. The screen freezes and the fans start spinning very hard. The last dmesg line before the pause is a info message about acer-wmi. When modprobing this module after boot the same symptoms occur. Ubuntu hangs, and reacts normally after 10 seconds. So, clearly something is wrong with acer-wmi. Maybe it should not be loaded with this laptop version, or it has a bug in it. I will add a dmesg from a boot with acer-wmi enabled. WORKAROUND: I blacklisted acer-wmi in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and updated initramfs. Now ubuntu boots as it should without hanging. No functionality appears to be lost. Bluetooth and wifi work, also the volume keys. --- ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2.1 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: peter 1729 F.... pulseaudio DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=0ef58455-0f7e-412c-865b-a22b63f559d9 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-12-19 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" - Release amd64 (20131016.1) MachineType: Acer Aspire 7740 MarkForUpload: True Package: linux (not installed) ProcFB: 0 inteldrmfb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.11.0-14-generic root=UUID=4333334c-62c1-414f-8227-e09a5f9da742 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.11.0-14.21-generic 3.11.7 RelatedPackageVersions: linux-restricted-modules-3.11.0-14-generic N/A linux-backports-modules-3.11.0-14-generic N/A linux-firmware 1.116 Tags: saucy Uname: Linux 3.11.0-14-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip libvirtd lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo dmi.bios.date: 07/29/2010 dmi.bios.vendor: Phoenix Technologies LTD dmi.bios.version: V1.27 dmi.board.asset.tag: No Asset Tag dmi.board.name: Aspire 7740 dmi.board.vendor: Acer dmi.board.version: V1.27 dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Tag dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: Acer dmi.chassis.version: V1.27 dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnPhoenixTechnologiesLTD:bvrV1.27:bd07/29/2010:svnAcer:pnAspire7740:pvrV1.27:rvnAcer:rnAspire7740:rvrV1.27:cvnAcer:ct10:cvrV1.27: dmi.product.name: Aspire 7740 dmi.product.version: V1.27 dmi.sys.vendor: Acer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1262797/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
