Bug Description
Averatec AV3250HX laptop booting Ubuntu 7.04 live CD doesn't work correctly.
This machine is currently working with Ubuntu 6.10. The only proble I had with that version was that I had to manually set up wireless networking.
It takes about 40 minutes to get to the graphical desktop. Two error windows pop up during that time. The first is for an error starting the Gnome Settings Deamon. The second is for failure to initialize HAL. Once the GUI come up the only things on the desktop are "Examples" and "Install", the Gnome panels are missing. The GUI responsiveness is so slow it's totally useless.
I used Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get a text terminal and that's at least usable. "top" shows 99% of the CPU being used by "events/0". When I shutdown the wireless network (sudo ifconfig ra0 down) the systems then responds at normal speed. My wireless uses the rt2500 driver, which I don't believe works with Network Manager. It shouldn't be trying to start this up.
In addition, the wired ethernet isn't working either. This uses the via-rhine driver. It seems to be connected - it has an IP adddress- but I can't ping other machines on the network.
My network hardware:

2. Please run the command 'dmesg > dmesg.log' and attach the resulting file 'dmesg.log' to this bug report.
3. Please run the command 'sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log' and attach the resulting file 'lspci-vvnn.log' to this bug report.
