[Bug 272247] Re: System freezes during boot, unless I hold a key down

[Scott Minster]

"hpet=disable" seems to work well for me on my HP Pavilion dv6810us
running 64bit Ubuntu (dual core AMD64, nvidia graphics).  I don't have
any problems with the remote or volume controls.  The only side effect
that I've noticed is that I can now successfully suspend the machine,
but resume never comes back.  Of course, resume didn't work without
disabling hpet either, it was just a lot harder to suspend without that
option.  I suspect that whatever is causing the error on boot is also
affecting resume.

This weekend, I will try to do more testing on different options.  But
"hpet=disable" seems to be a reasonable workaround for the time being.
