Public bug reported:
Lucid Lynx 10.04 LTS does not start up well with the F.15 BIOS of HP
Mini 110. [This wasn't a problem before and is once again not a problem
now that I have reinstalled Karmic.]
The symptom is that if Lucid has been running on either the disk or a
UNE stick, attempting to shutdown, hibernate, or suspend leads to a
situation in which the computer is likely to wait 6.5 minutes before
Lucid shows any signs of running or indeed to hang forever. The effect
might be magnified by whether or not the computer was battery-powered
when it went down. Note that "restart" seems to work more reliably than
the others. Also note that the identity of the image that you are trying
to bring up (in the shutdown or crash out of hang case) is irrelevant to
the problem. So using a Lucid UNE stick as a live CD and then trying to
reboot the installed Karmic exhibits the problem while using a Karmic
UNR stick as a live CD and then rebooting the installed Lucid is
uneventful.
I tried this with three different USB sticks (though probably two were
identical) and two differently-configured installations. I also
installed the 2.26.33.3 kernel for Lucid and got the same results. By
the way, 6.5 minutes is a pretty consistent value.
I didn't find a way on HP's site to upgrade the BIOS running Linux; on
the other hand there is nothing in HP's release notes about the newer
ones that suggests this is fixed.
