Comment 10 for bug 75704

I can confirm that this still happens in later versions. I tried installing Mythbuntu 8.04 RC1 yesterday on my Latitude L400 and got the same problem. As you probably know, this is based on the latest Ubuntu 8.04. Furthermore, installing Suse linux 10.3 also displays the same problem.

I've tried disabling everything power-related in my bios, but that didn't solve it. The problem I now have is that the suggested solution (disabling acpi in kernel settings) doesn't work since the installer CD immediately suspends on startup and I can't modify that CD. I can't even get Ubuntu to install, let alone modify the kernel parameters.

Could this also be related to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=593334 ?

Love to hear from you,
