[Bug 903961] Re: Kernel regression.... boot param acpi=off now NEEDED

 

Hey Israel,

My processor is an AMD Athlon XP-M, which doesn't support 64-bit as far
as I can see... Yes, I have the latest BIOS version installed :)

Title:
  Kernel regression.... boot param acpi=off now NEEDED

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Currently running 10.04 and no boot param needed.

  WORKAROUND: From 10.10 and onward I have needed kernel parameter
  acpi=off

  Which is of course a bad idea to run a system without acpi.  I have
  tried numerous boot parameters and none work consistantly.  acpi_osi
  Windows 2006 (2001 SP1/SP2) worked occasionally.  This affects other
  distros as well.  Lucid puppy 5.25 works perfectly, but the current
  slacko puppy does not.  all ubuntu derivatives are commonly affected,
  as well as debian.  I have tried running some other live CDs of others
  (Arch, etc..) all with the newer kernels are affected.  This is
  related to other bugs

  626622
  633596
  and probably more than that.
  Maverick is where the issue began.

  I am absolutely sure it is the kernel because of running non Ubuntu OS with the later kernels and needing the param acpi=off.
  I would like to use the modern systems for my computer, as they have much better features, and some of the newer programs are something I really want to use.
  Any other information needed I will provide
  Thanks
