["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

nickleus, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please utilize your WORKAROUND and run
the following command in the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 981936
   1217:00f7 Firewire prevents booting

** Tags added: needs-kernel-logs needs-upstream-testing regression-
release

** Description changed:

  I attempted to install ubuntu 12.04 on an Acer TravelMate 8200, without
  success. Initially I would just get a black/blank screen after having
  chosen install language English and attempting to "Install Ubuntu".
  
  Then I added the boot options "nosplash noquiet radeon.modeset=0" and could debug the problem, whereupon I discovered the following error:
  "firewire_ohci failed to link power status"
  
  I couldn't find any way to disable loading of firewire (1394), so I was
  forced to abort installation of 12.04 and had to install 11.10, which
  went totally fine, without problems, on the same laptop.

+ WORKAROUND: blacklist=firewire_ohci
