Comment 32 for bug 1284085

Hello!

I'm quite unfamiliar with programming, but I'm a PhD student who wants to install Ubuntu on his Macbook Air6,2. I drink a lot of coffee and am more than willing to help, although I will need very explicit instructions.

I am experiencing this issue, and I tried to go in and set nr_cpus=1 (I pressed 'e' at the Ubuntu splash screen, and entered it there), but that didn't do anything (I would have been dumfounded if it did, as I had no idea what I was doing).

Seth. I would gladly try to pass processor.nocst in the kernel boot options if you are willing to give me instructions on how to do so (including setting nr_cpus=1).

Thanks!
