Comment 66 for bug 256767

Just upgraded to 10.10 (Server) from older Debian [don't ask!], started getting this problem. Be warned, if you haven't done much research on this problem yet, you will find the gamut of remedies described on the net.

For me, what worked was a BIOS update. Board: Tyan Tomcat K8E (S2865 AG2NRF). It's been in place for years working with original BIOS (1.01). Flashed to "current" 2006-11-15 (v 3.04). There's a BIOS setting in there for Operating System, choices are "Other" and "Linux".

Problem solved. Hope yours goes as well!
