Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-system-
So that my PC Acer Aspire M5100 can function normally with Natty, I have to blacklist the driver sp5100_tco. Otherwise, if the driver is not blacklisted (normal configuration of Natty) and if I restart the PC, the PC reboots every two seconds and never takes off. Then I have to unplug the power cord and reconnect a few seconds. In these conditions, the PC can start. I tried a "clear CMOS" but without success.

Previously, I was able to meet the dmesg file ( dmesg_liveCD_ Natty_Alpha3. txt) obtained in session live-CD Ubuntu Natty Alpha3. can be seen in this file the three lines for "SP5100 TCO timer" who is the driver that is causing problems
