Bug description:
Once the Ubuntu splash screen loads with the progress bar that moves back and forth, it freezes. Holding down any key unfreezes the system, and it continues
loading normally, until I release the key, at which point it freezes again. Holding a key down again unfreezes the system again.
Pressing Alt+F1 to show the output also freezes, so I know it isn't just the splash screen freezing, but the entire system.
Once X loads, it works perfectly fine though, and I don't have to keep holding a key down.
Update : This bug happens with 2.6.26 and 2.6.27 kernels with a computer that has Nvidia MCP67 motherboard. A known workaround that sometimes works is to add nolapic to GRUB boot kernel options. acpi=noirq is also known to work.
----------
Possible systems affected include:
Nvidia MCP67 Chipset
Compaq Presario F700
Compaq Presario F763NR
Sony Vaio PCG-GRT-815E - from the Mandriva errata
HP Pavilion DV6545eg Notebook - from duplicate
HP Pavilion DV6736nr
HP Pavilion DV6745us - from a duplicate
HP Pavilion DV6620es
HP Pavilion DV9610us
HP Pavilion DV9700z

Thanks so much! I'm installing Ubuntu now. :)
