[Bug 1329384] [NEW] 32 bits Ubuntu Server installer for 12.04/14.04 does not boot on Dell R220 without acpi=off

 

Public bug reported:

Trying to install Ubuntu Server on a brand new Dell R220 (released 2
months ago).

Tested multiple installers all from USB:
- Ubuntu Server 12.04.4 LTS (i686) without any option: kernel panic
- Ubuntu Server 14.04.4 LTS (i686) without any option: kernel panic
- Ubuntu Server 12.04.4 LTS (amd64) without any option: works as expected (GOOD)


Tried some options:
- acpi=off: allows the installer to boot but may have unforeseen consequences (GOOD)
- acpi=ht: kernel panic
- pci=noacpi: kernel panic

The files attached are for a 12.04.4 (latest available as 6/6/14) installation.
Kernel panic happened into acpi_ex_system_memory_space_handler.

** Affects: linux (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Incomplete
