Does it still happen on latest kernels (Maverick, Natty)? If yes, I suggest to test with these parameters given to the kernel, it may help narrow down the real issue: processor.max_cstate=2 processor.max_cstate=1 processor.nocst
If C-states is the issue, probably one of them will workaround the problem. If is not a kernel bug, we can add a dmi blacklist entry to processor. But as changing frequency setting in bios also worked, may be something is happening on pstates handling, so setting /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor to performance can make a difference too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/435257 Title: Ubuntu takes forever to install on a Toshiba NB 200 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
