Leann,

Thanks, I will give this a go on the HP Pavillion dv6258se Laptop (AMD64 x2) and provide feedback. I have a number of colleagues with this laptop series (dv6000) who are unable to use 710 Gutsy Gibbon. It'll take me a week or so as I have to perform a 710 re-install as it had frozen, (as it frequently does on 710), during a system update. After this particular freeze up, 710 was not recoverable, requiring a rebuild.

There seems no "Repair" facility on the live CD, just "Install" only is readily available. This means you lose your entire setup every time you do a re-install if the system fails. (704 was actually stable and booted fine once you solved the video incompatibility issue - Nvidia restricted driver).

Anyway, will give it a go per your instructions below and provide feedback.

Warm regards,
Raj Dhillon

Subject: [Bug 160718] Re: 7.10 Gutsy does not load up without noapic
bootcommand

The Hardy Heron kernel was recently uploaded for testing. We'd really
appreciate it if you could try testing with this newer kernel and verify
if this issue still exists. Unfortunately, the Hardy Heron Alpha1
LiveCD was released with the older 2.6.22 kernel. You'll have to
manually install the newer Hardy Heron kernel in order to test. This
should not be the case for Alpha2. However, here are the instructions
to install (if you choose to do so):

1) edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list and add the following line:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main restricted

2) sudo apt-get update
3) sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.24-1-generic
4) reboot and select the new kernel from the grub menu

After you've tested, please feel free to revert back - ie boot into the
old kernel, sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.24-1-generic, and remove
the line from /etc/apt/sources.list . Please update this report with
your results. Thanks in advance!
