Re: [Question #77610]: Gateway Solo 9500 power cut off

 

Question #77610 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/77610

kozimodo proposed the following answer:
I have virtually the same machine (GW Solo 9500) although mine is only
800Mhhz and only has 256Mb ram.  The lack of power and ram and airflow
are not a problem as I plan to eventually dismantle the whole thing, fit
it into a box and use it as a kiosk/recipe, light web browsing kitchen
appliance.

I may have a much better partial solution now.  Try the pnpbios=off boot
option.  It still does not work for warm boots (rebooting) but so far I
every cold boot (5-6?) has succeeded, even with a mouse plugged in.  I
still need to let it get really hot and then try booting it to see if it
works for that.
