[Bug 89770] Re: USB ports work only after acpi=off but then WLAN crashes

[ycc]

Hi,

I just downloaded Feisty Fawn Herd 5 Desktop CD. It seems to show
exactly the same behavior as 6.06.1:

Boot without options: USB ports do not work. WLAN card is recognized by
the system.

Boot with acpi=off:  USB ports work. WLAN card is NOT recognized by the
system.

For me, it thus seems impossible to make USB ports and WLAN card work at
the same time. Ubuntu seems like an excellent OS but as I am sure you
understand, it is not possible for me to install until I can use these
two components at once. To ME it is a "high priority problem" :-)

Minor comments:
1. The "Feisty Herd 5" bootsplash works on my computer and I don't have to go to "safe graphics mode" like on v. 6.06.1.
2. On shutdown: The CD tray won't open and cannot be opened by pressing its button. I must keep the CD in the tray and shut off the computer by pressing return. The second time I tried the Feisty disc (acpi=off), pressing return didn't work either, I had to press the power switch briefly to turn off the computer. In any case the CD must stay in the CD-player at shutdown and I must enter BIOS at next upstart. Then I can open the tray and remove the CD.
3. (I have not tested this in detail) Ubuntu seems to read my NTFS (Windows disc) but depending on how I entered the hard-disk-folder not all the folders on the harddisk are seen sometimes.

Thanks a lot for taking your time with this problem.
