Public bug reported: Although laptop works fine with 11.04, the system is pretty unusable with 11.10.
I can start it with bootable disk and you get Unity screen, but then after few seconds it gets corrupted (icons start to disappear) and system crashes. I am attaching picture from screen. The only way to start and use this laptop with 11.10 is to pass "acpi=off" It was also tested with 3.2.0-030200rc2-generic to no avail. Also card reader works only one. If you unmount SSD card and insert it back, system crashes.
