Ben Prescott (ben.prescott) wrote : acer laptop hangs during boot process; 12.04

bug reported from 11.10 as I can't boot the system into 12.04 at all.

I'm booting it via PXE/TFTP and NFS off the beta1 32bit ISO
I've currently got a second laptop running the beta 12.04; don't believe its my PXE setup, but I'll building a usb image to eliminate that.

Whether I try to boot into the GUI, or append S to the kernel args, it always hangs in the same place - after finding the b43-phy0 firmware isn't available. num-lock key stops responding.
