ubuntu 10.04 with a kernel 2.6 or lower works well on SIS motherboard,but SIS motherboard Users with ubuntu 10.10 or higher have to add an "acpi=off" to the grub line to boot it.
I'm now using ubuntu 12.04 on an ASUS F81SE notebook with SIS motherboard,and I can't boot it normally unless by each of following 3 ways:1.add an"acpi=off" to the grub line;2.disable wlan in bios;3.download a kernel 2.6.34 or lower(used by ubuntu 10.04) from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ and boot the system by this kernel.
So i guess ubuntu must have removed sis motherboard acpi support from kernel 2.6 or higher(perhaps linux kernel team should be responsible for it).Please give me an a explanation about it .
Something has to be pointed out that this bug has nothing to do with the video card or video driver!
This bug exists in ALL computers based on SIS motherboard running ubuntu 10.10 or above.
