I will confirm, after about 2 hours of configuring and tinkering with this relentless update of the new kernel. The new kernel installation was unable to boot on a switchable graphics BIOS setting, so I had to switch back to discrete display. However, the ATI device driver broke after installation, so after reverting to the default display driver everything went back to working order. I am am glad to say that my Lenovo Y460 laptop is able to successfully boot into the OS with or without a AC power adapter cord because of installing the 2.6.39.0 Kernel for Ubuntu 11.04.. Nice feature and all, but now the laptop runs hot and is unable to save on battery life because of the lack of a device driver to support the graphics card in the laptop. If anyone has a solution please let me know as soon as you can, for this is a huge disadvantage in a laptop having to have it plugged in because my battery drains from lack of driver support to the display card.
