Bug Description

Thinkpad 600e

Problem 1: Can't type special boot commands. Tried to use floppy=thinkpad after
an unsuccessful boot. Message returned (to the effect of) "kernal
floppy=thinkpad not available"

Problem 2: Really problem 1. At the point when the boot process says ID 1 then
ID3 then ID6 , etc, it says it will wait five minutes. After 5 minutes it checks
IDs again, ad infinitum.

So I have never seen kubuntu on my PC. I am currently using an early version of
ubuntu...

I hope this helps

Read the help at the boot prompt for instructions for specifying options.

Does the problem still occur with current Dapper?
