Comment 129 for bug 1040557

I'm curious what is the point installing 12.04 over 12.10 and still using (a modified) kernel from 12.10?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if one is afraid of installing 12.10 solely because of 'samsung-laptop' module being loaded, one can just easily blacklist the module _before_ booting from the installation media.

What one needs is just adding 'samsung-laptop.blacklist=yes' to the kernel boot line.
