[Bug 83290] Re: [gutsy] kernel 2.6.20 and 2.6.22 problem on asus centrino

[sblanz]

I can confirm this bug. In my opinion this is a very important issue
because it becomes impossible to install or boot ubuntu out of the box
on several popular mainboards like asus. This causes a lot of people to
abandon ubuntu.

This bug is present when trying to install or boot feisty on a M2A-MVP
Asus mainboard.

The only way to install is to add "acpi=off" on grub boot both during
installation and next boots.

This causes the computer to be impossible to automatically shutdown
because it hangs on "Will now halt" message.

In this MB the sound works using the workaround snd_hda workaround.

We're still looking for a solution, and hearing that this bug is present
even if gutsy gibbon earlier versions is not a good news.
