Okay, I've tested this for a while, I'm ready to say this is working great! For the Compaq F761US.

Thanks so much! I'm so glad that you are willing to help all of us out. I have a friend that has a HP Pavilion DV6809WM, so I will extract his DSDT (he's not a Linux guy at all) for him also and post it. I also want to help to get everyone's DSDT fixed! :) -Original Message- From: boun...@canonical.com [mailto:boun...@canonical.com] On Behalf Of 67GTA Sent: Sunday, April 26, 2009 10:27 AM To: tja...@roadrunner.com Subject: [Bug 272247] Re: System freezes during boot, unless I hold a key down TO ALL AFFECTED: I will try to help fix DSDT errors for anyone that can email me a copy of their dsdt.dat. You can obtain it by following my how to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1036051&highlight=dsdt This is not to slight the devs, but they can only implement workarounds. The problem is with the Bios vendor/HP. Even if the devs are able to patch it, you are still going to have a broken DSDT. Most of the laptops affected by this don't have proper thermal trip points, and get very warm during normal use. This also keeps a large number of laptops from suspending/hibernating.

Holding down any key unfreezes the system, and it continues loading normally, until I release the key, at which point it freezes again. Holding a key down again unfreezes the system again. Pressing Alt+F1 to show the output also freezes, so I know it isn't just the splash screen freezing, but the entire system. Once X loads, it works perfectly fine though, and I don't have to keep holding a key down. Update : This bug happens with 2.6.26 and 2.6.27 kernels with a computer that has Nvidia MCP67 motherboard. A known workaround that sometimes works is to add nolapic to GRUB boot kernel options. acpi=noirq is also known to work.

[Bug 272247] Re: System freezes during boot, unless I hold a key down
How are you exactly editing the DSDT? It's a huge file, and what exactly is causing the problem? Are these the correct commands to extract the DSDT? sudo cat /proc/acpi/dsdt > DSDT.dat iasl -d DSDT.dat # disassemble to create DSDT.dsl Sorry, but I haven't modified the DSDT before, and I really don't want to try to apply one of the edited ones here because they are PC specific. I'll get Ubuntu installed (actually in Windows 7 right now), and extract my DSDT for you. :) Hopefully we'll be able to create a post with all the DSDT fixes. ;) I'm so glad we're having some progress here! -- System freezes during boot, unless I hold a key down https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272247 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

I've had this error ever since I tried Intrepid Ibex. It worked fin in 8.04 though. As everything says above, the error has came back. All I have to say it thanks to the developers who are helping to solve this issue. As being a developer myself, I extremely appreciate it. My laptop is the Compaq Presario F761US, and of course, MCP-67 based. -- System freezes during boot, unless I hold a key down https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272247 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
