[Bug 666852] Re: Packard Bell EasyNote MZ35 freezes when AC unplugged and wireless on

[Bruce Healey]

I have the same problem on an HP Omnibook 6000 with an RT61 wifi running
xubuntu 10.10.

Some additional comments: starting on battery with the wifi modem router
off allows the laptop to start and for me to log-in. It goes into panic
when the modem router is turned on. Also, I can start on battery with
the wifi card removed, allow the system to start and log-in and settle
down. Hot plugging the wifi card does not cause a kernel panic (but I
don't fancy doing this every time).

Switching off acpi (in grub2) means that the kernel panic problems have
gone away. However, I get no battery indicators that work and the laptop
has to be manually powered off from the "system halted" message. Turning
off acpi is not (I think) a good route to overcoming this problem - it
only gives you a lesser set of problems. And acpi was fine on earlier
releases of xubuntu.
