    Status: Open => Answered

Steven Danna proposed the following answer:
Try the following:

1) Open a terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal)
2) Run the following command:

gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

3) Gedit should open after you put in your password.  Scroll to the
bottom of the final until you see the first operating system entry.  It
should look something like this:

## ## End Default Options ##

title		Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-13-generic
uuid		8d96f1c1-2234-4069-8701-1af5e067057e
kernel	/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-13-generic root=UUID=8d96f1c1-2234-4069-8701-1af5e067057e ro quiet splash 
initrd	/boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-13-generic
quiet

4) At the end of the "kernel" line add the word: irqpoll so that it
looks like something like this:


## ## End Default Options ##

title		Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-13-generic
uuid		8d96f1c1-2234-4069-8701-1af5e067057e
kernel	/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-13-generic root=UUID=8d96f1c1-2234-4069-8701-1af5e067057e ro quiet splash irqpoll 
initrd	/boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-13-generic
quiet

5) Save and close the file.
6) Reboot.  If the problem is gone.  Do the following:

a) Open a terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal)
b) Run the command:

gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

c) Find the line that says:

# defoptions=quiet splash

d) Add irqpoll to this line:

# defoptions=quiet splash irqpoll

e) Save and close the file.  
f) Run this command at the terminal:

sudo update-grub
