Comment 58 for bug 282220

I tried that but it didn't work for me. I may not know how to install a kernel option. I had previously been adding parameters to the first menu option. It seemed odd that you would add something to the defoptions line and not uncomment it so I tried it both ways. I added the parameters to the first menu item as I had been doing. Nothing made any difference, with or without sudo update-grub. It's possible I lost track and missed the winning configuration. I could always cause the problem to occur.

I may try finding a more recent BIOS. Perhaps it's that simple. If loading the new BIOS doesn't crash my system. ;-)
