Bug Description
My laptop, a hp hdx 9300, often doesn't boot with Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 Alpha 3 (64 bit). This is a regression, since it worked (albeit with some quirks) okay on 9.04 and 8.10 (it had a beeping problem that was solved for me when I removed the quiet option from the boot options. see https:/
Both the live cd and the installed OS hang on boot pretty often (say 3 of 4 attempts). With the quiet options it might even be more often (I didn't gather reliable statistical data). The only remedy is to shut down the laptop then, ctrl + alt +del is ignored.
When I use acpi=off or acpi=noirq I can boot into alpha 3, but of course I want to have full power management (I'm currently running Fedora 11 without any of these problems).
I'm attaching a screenshot of the messages (the hang happens so early that no log file is written) and a lscpi-dump from Fedorra 11.

Hi Stefan,
Can you just quickly confirm this remains with the latest 2.6.31-5 Ubuntu kernel? If so, could you test and confirm this remains with the 2.6.31-rc5 mainline kernel:
http:// kernel. ubuntu. com/~kernel- ppa/mainline/ v2.6.31- rc5/linux- image-2. 6.31-020631rc5- generic_ 2.6.31- 020631rc5_ i386.deb
