ACPI does not work on Asus motherboard with nForce chipset

Sorry, i forgot to add type of motherboard. It is K8N4-DEluxe (socket 754). The same bug is with vanila kernel 2.6.15.6

Please attach the output of 'sudo dmidecode'

Thanks
chuck

I fix it by add pci=nommconf to grub menu.lst, acpi is now working correctly without any problem.

I have the same motherboard and the same problem: no forcedeth, sata,.. both x86 and AMD64 2.6.15 kernels. tested with flight5 & 6

Adding "pci=nommconf" to the kernel parameters fixes it for me too.

I also confirm the problem. motherboard ASUS K8N4-E deluxe nforce 4 socket 754.
i have to pass noapc and noacpi to make nvidia driver, sound and ethernet work...
kernel 2.6.15.23-k7 (k8 tested as well, same problem) so it is with ubuntu 6.06 LTS:!!!

Me too:

ASUS K5N8-E
nVIDIA chipset
xubuntu freshly installed

it was a real HORROR:

xubuntu slow down at boot with hard disk led always ON, and system really slow

with acpi and APIC support enabled on bios my ethernet card was seen as ... a FIREWIRE card!!! 8(

acpi=off was only a workaround but NO PS/2 MOUSE can be configured, because is not seen in /proc/bus/input/devices!!! Also I had strange system locks about 5 minutes after the boot up, with no message in log files. HORROR!!!

pci=nommconf worked well for me, now i'm happy. :)

p.s. i HATE LINUX for these things :(

I can absolutely second this. After upgrading my girlfriend's ASUS K8N4-based system to Dapper, the onboard sound, Ethernet and USB controllers failed to configure correctly. This behaviour was also exhibited after wiping the hard drive and installing Kubuntu Edgy.

Fortunately, the pci=nommconf workaround solved all of these problems.

This happens with me as well. Motherboard M2n-X plus with amd 64 x2 4400+. With acpi apic support on XP works but Ubuntu doesn't and vice versa.

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this linux-source-2.6.15 kernel bug to the new "linux" package. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Also, if you would be interested in testing the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release, it is available at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . Please let us know your results. Thanks!

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

This bug report was marked as Confirmed a while ago but has not had any updated comments for quite some time. Please let us know if this issue remains in the current Ubuntu release, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download . If the issue remains, click on the current status under the Status column and change the status back to "New". Thanks.

[This is an automated message. Apologies if it has reached you inappropriately; please just reply to this message indicating so.]

Unassigned from Ben Collins. Marked invalid due to length of time since last report. Please report new incidents of this issue affecting Karmic or Lucid in new bugs.

I still get this bug on my Toshiba satellite. Without acpi being turned off, my Netbook will hang on boot. Without acpi, however, I have no idea what my battery life is.
