Bug Description

I have to use the acpi=off boot paramater to successfully boot the Gutsy 7.10 final live CD on a Compaq Presario F600. The computer uses an AMD mobile Sempron and an nForce chipset. Using the Slax Standard edition, I have no problems. (http://www.slax.org/)

I've tried the following boot parameters with no success:
idle=poll, acpi_use_timer_override, acpi_skip_timer_override, noapic, nolapic, acpi=noirq, pci=noacpi, pci=biosirq pnpbios=off, irqpoll,

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The Hardy Heron Alpha series was recently released. Alpha2 and subsequent releases contain an updated version of the kernel. You can download and try the new Hardy Heron Alpha release from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/ . Please note that Alpha3 will be released within the next day or two so you may want to wait. You should be able to then test the new kernel via the LiveCD. If you can, please verify if this bug still exists or not and report back your results. General information regarding the release can also be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ .
