Title:
  ubuntu 12.04 installation firewire_ohci failed to link power status

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  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
