[Bug 1093217] Re: Ubuntu 12.04/12.10/13.04 10-20min boot delay (From 3.2.0.29->3.8.0.19) [Lenovo IdeaPad Z580]

 

I would not advocate buying this laptop if you plan to install Ubuntu.
On my system I am running 3.10.0-031000rc5-generic.  I find the 20
minute boot problem only happens about 50% of the time rather than 95%
of the time, as it did with earlier kernal versions, but still not 0% of
the time as I would prefer.  I have been unable to get the workaround
discussed here to work on my system, perhaps because newer versions of
this computer use a bios configuration that does not seem allow the
workaround. I have found that if the computer does not boot up, force
restarting it into safe mode, shutting down and then restarting in
normal mode results in a successful boot most of the time.

Also the following bug
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2043744&p=12461562#post12461562
still exists for 12.04 meaning you can't use the right click button on
the mouse-pad, which is also kind of annoying.

  Ubuntu 12.04/12.10/13.04 10-20min boot delay (From 3.2.0.29->3.8.0.19)

Bug description:
  On updating the kernel from 3.2.0.29 to any later version (3.2.0.30)
  and above, Ubuntu will not boot. I see a blank screen with a cursor
  but nothing happens after that.

  Trying to boot into recovery mode is not useful either.

  Booting into an older version of the kernel (3.2.0.29) is successful.

  I have seen this issue with all kernels after 3.2.0.29 till date :
  3.2.0.31, 3.2.0.32, 3.2.0.33, 3.2.0.34, 3.2.0.35
