Mr Lentz,

Thank you for replying to my situation, I am a fairly new "Linux person", but I have been learning for about two years now on Ubuntu.  I haven't gotten very involved with the community (but I do intend to), and this is very encouraging to me to see such a helpful response.

I figured out, just this morning how to fix this problem..

I added  acpi_enforce_resources=lax to the boot line in grub.lst

Dave, could you advise me if I should leave the bug report up, or add my "solution" to it, I suppose it should still be looked at, but I want people in the same situation to know that this "fix", did in fact, "fix it", for lack of a better explanation.

Again, thank you for your reply.

James
