I tried it again today. This time used nolapic instead of acpi=off and it worked.
There still is a major dealy at this point: Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20 end request I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 end request I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 Buffer I/O error on device fd0 logical block 0 end request I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 Buffer I/O error on device fd0 logical block 0 But then the system comes up just fine. The battery of the laptop was recognized just fine and also sound and extra-keys (play, pause, skip, etc) worked. This still is somewhat of a regression compared to previous versions of Ubuntu (I started with breezy) but I guess I can/will have to live with that. So I guess fesity is actually going to happen for me/us as Asus M2400N users too. :-) Keep on rocking! -- kernel 2.6.20-6 problem on asus centrino with kubuntu feisty herd 3, acpi=off partial solved https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/83290 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
