Disk was partitioned during Windows install as follows: 80GB Windows | 80GB for Linux Root | 200M for Linux Boot | 150 GB NTFS for data Windows boots Ok, runs ok, no problem. Tried to install x64 Linux. LiveCD AND AlternateCD boot ok, show menu, I select Install (or Run Live) and after 2 seconds without having time to read what the screen says other than an "irq storm..." it reboots. Tried to add parameters "acpi=off, noapic, nolapic, nofb" in all combinations, system moves forward, but locks after showing "io scheduler cfq". I left it for 10 minutes there - still locked. Tried to add DEBUG_something to the kernel line, which was supposed to show more info - but I get the same messages. I tried both 8.04 (Hardy) and 8.10 (Intrepid). Same results. I tried the startup CD of OpenSUSE 11 - exactly the same behavior. So it must be something with the kernel itself. All tests were made with 64-bit OSes. Vista running on machine is Business-64bit. I saw that some systems had problems with Fedora and problems were gone with BIOS update. But there is no new BIOS for my machine as far as I know. Its BIOS has limited entries. I tried playing with them - same results. Disk boots in AHCI mode for Windows, I tried both SATA and AHCI - no change. I tried also enabling / disabling EFI - still no change. Finally I search for any APIC or ACPI settings in BIOS but there are none. There is also an option in BIOS (which mainly enables/disables AHCI) that asks what OS you will boot (Vista/XP/Other) and I tried all three settings. I am stuck with Windows and an empty partiton waiting for Ubuntu... Since I could not see bash in ANY linux I tried up to now, to do any lsusb/lspci etc commands, I attach the .nfo file from Windows Vista. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Ubuntu refuses to boot on Clevo M860TU barebone https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/285768 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
