[Bug 364156] Re: powernow-k8: BIOS does not provide ACPI -PSS objects in a way that Linux understands

[Darko Dimitrovski]

Hello. I have the same problem ACPI_PSS bug is not letting me run live
environment or installation of 9.10 or 9.04. I downloaded 8.04 LTS just
to test and that runs fine.

I'm new to both Ubuntu and bug reporting, should I just report here or
open new report with my motherboard model?

In case you want to know, it is Gigabyte MA78G-DS3H, ver1.0. Factory
BIOS was F3 and the error was present there. I updated to latest F8 and
the error is still there.

The error appears with both Cool&Quiet enabled (default) or disabled.
Also, the error is still there even if I edit (with TAB) the command
line of the Try Ubuntu option adding at the end "acpi=off noacpi". I saw
that alternative in another post but doesn't help for me.

So as far as it looks to me, I have two options: not install Ubuntu at
all, or settle for 8.04. But I really want 9.10.

Any chance of this "bug" being solved? If you need more info just ask for but consider the following:
1. I'm new to Ubuntu so you would need to provide steps (not too detailed, I can find my way around)
2. I do not have a running 9.10 or 9.04 system due to the error above so don't know how would I provide logs/files from it. I have a running 8.04 but that doesn't give the error which is why it could be installed.
