Hi Alexandre,

where did you modify the acpi=ht? Grub-Menu?
I am relativly new to Linux but got my ubuntu setup so far that it does everything except for booting with the nvidia card on after a shutdown from ubuntu.
At the moment I let it boot for 3-5 sec. into WinXP and the do a cold reboot which reenables the nvidia-card (and LED).
I would be happy if you could help me. 
For the statistics:
Everything works fine on my VGN-Z21MN except :
*nvidia after rebbot (see above)
*SD-Card-Slot
*AVCRP with my bluetooth Headset (a2dp works)

Haven't Tested:
*Mic
*MS-Slot

Thank you,
Johannes
