This friend try many steps and have the same problems.
After the first step of installation, he tried with editing command from 
grub.
pci=noacpi
acpi=off
pci=noacpi acpi=off
acpi=off noapic pci=noacpi nolapic
acpi=off apm=off
with no success with Warty.
He also tried Array-1 and DailyCurrentHoary with 2.6.9.1 .

I find that in Linux on Laptop but he have to verify if it is the 
specification are similar of 1705 Smi

    /Linux Kernel 2.6.0 - 2.6.4/

/ wicked problem here: if I use ACPI then the ACPI-driver detects a 
critical temperature during boot up and initiates an immediate shutdown 
after kernel initialization is finished. Only way to work around this is 
to disable thermal_zone in the kernel, but then the fan speed is not 
increased if temperature rises, which is something I won't test to 
extent. :-) /


    /Linux Kernel 2.6.5 and higher/

/A major improvement can be reported! Thermal management with ACPI works 
quite fine but a funny bug remains: the CPU fan won't speed up 
automatically if temperature rises. But if you do a "cat 
/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature" then the fan reacts and speeds 
up accordingly. So I just have a "watch -n 5 cat 
/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature" run all the time and it works 
fine. IRQ assignment with ACPI is still an issue and can be corrected 
with the kernel boot parameter "pci=noacpi".
*UPDATE:* Right now I'm using kernel 2.6.9 and I can't exactly tell 
since when the SMP-troubles with the NVidia-driver disappeared. But they 
are gone. So, apart from the thermal problems of the whole cooling 
construction you can use Hyperthreading without a hitch.
Finally got a way to test wireless LAN. I believe it was kernel 2.6.6 or 
so, when they fixed something for this WLAN-chip. If you load the module 
or have it compiled directly into your kernel you can now turn on and 
off the WLAN-chip with the button on the laptop and start surfing.
Finally (again) I bought a video DVD to test DVD playback: works fine!
All that remains to be tested is DVD-writing and enhanced power 
management abilities./

He can install Mandrake 10.0 then i don't know what it 's the problem in 
Linux 2.6.8.1 386 kernel.
They can't access to shell command because the installation isn't finish 
then what can he do ?
I don't know if a Ubuntu CD Install with Linux 2.6.8.1 686 smp can solve 
his problem. But how to make this CD ?
