I downloaded Alpha 5 (Kubuntu). I got a good burn out of K3B ( the MD5 sum matched the advertised string) I shut my system down and cold-booted. I rebooted a total of 7 times, and at no time did I get a working system. I was able to select various combinations of f4 (safe graphics mode) and f6 options, including editing the boot string to eliminate the "quiet" and "splash" boot options. At best, the last displayed message was "checking battery state", then the screen would blank. The CD would churn for a while and then stop. After waiting for about 5 minutes, I simply powered off the laptop. I would have very much like to have tested how well shutdown behaved, but I could not. I suspect that my hardware shares some of the blame. My laptop is an older IBM Thinkpad T20 (PIII 700mhz/384MB/12GB) with a BIOS dated 12/1999. I have ordered another RAM module, but that will only bring my machine up to 512MB, which is the maximum for this machine. Among the boot options I did try: noapic acpi=off, acpi=force, and removing quiet and splash. Nothing made much difference except for "noapic acpi=off" which stopped the boot process much earlier. Sorry I could not test this bug, perhaps in the next Alpha or RC. Thank you.
