Gutsy 7.10 live CD locks up at boot time on Samsung Q45

[Kelvin Vanderlip]

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

The boot process stops in mid stream on a Samsung Q45 laptop. Due to the splash screen no information about why is available to the user.

By manually adding -- noacip acip=off to the boot parameters the laptop loads Ubuntu 7.10 live OK (complaining about missing CPU frequency controls etc).

(note: See separate bug report about the panel not fitting the screen.)

The Hardy Heron Alpha2 release will be coming out soon. It will have an updated version of the kernel. It would be great if you could test with this new release and verify if this issue still exists. I'll be sure to update this report when Alpha2 is available. Thanks!
