Ubuntu Installation :: ACPI Errors - How To Run Script
Aug 11, 2010
I'm a total Linux newb, and I seem to have got the wrong laptop for that. An L505D-GS6000. Apparently, it's hard to install linux on it unless you do some things (it stops with a bunch of ACPI errors. I found a solution, but I have no idea how to do it.
To summarize:
for L505D GS6000
Install 10.4
Boot with pci=noacpi
Run HexOr's script found here: [URL]
Get wifi drivers from here [URL]
I have 10.4 working on my Toshiba Satellite L505D GS6000, with everything fine, power controls, trackpad, wifi now." How do I boot with pci=noacpi? How do I run a script?
I just tried to install CentOS 5.4 on my notebook (HP G42-214BR), I use Windows 7 at the moment.
On the first time I got W7 installed at C: and couldn't istall centos on it. Before trying again I went to Windows and free something like 40GB from C:, but the disc where C: is went from basic to a dynamic disc.
After that I tried to install, and got some errors like:
And the final row was like:
And the installation don't go any further than this. What is going wrong?
I have a HP Pavilion dv7-2230sa During boot I get a series of errors about ACPI and AHCI Conflicts, the result of which I have to dissable ACPI with acpi=off. However when acpi=off my wireless Broadcom b43 series refuses to enable the wifi. I just can't press the button that would enable / dissable the wifi.
The wifi is detected, the drivers and firmware are installed, however the light remains firmly in the RED.the ethernet works, sound works fine, There also seems to be an issue with the ATi/Radeon Driver being missing which is causing fatal errors at boot time and also some memory conflicts again causing fatal errors.
I have tried this laptop under opensuse 11.2 and now under opensuse 11.3M5 without sucsess - however to my dislike Ubuntu have managed to resolve this by accident between 9.4 and 9.10 but i wanna use opensuse not ubuntu i have asked them to tell me how they fixed it to share it with you but I am still plowing my way through their forum!
Having trouble rebooting a system. Have a Ubuntu 9.10 (2.6.31-16 generic-pae) build on a VMWare installation. The system was fine until I rebooted after an update. Now I get the above message and the system halts loading. Have tried to Grub acpi=off and acpi=force to no avail.
When I run OpenSUSE from the Live CD using normal settings, booting stops with a blank screen a moment after the kernel is loaded. When running it with ACPI disabled, it works, but direct rendering is disabled, even though it detects my video card (Mobility Radeon HD 5650) correctly Here's the Xorg.0.log file: my xorg log - [URL]
I have random X freezes (suddenly keyboard and mouse stop to react). Xorg.O.log is error and warnings free. The only problems I see in syslog/ dmesg are related to ACPI.

I ahve also today upgraded my BIOS to 1303 version. Still no difference.
I've installed 10.10 on a laptop and everything is working except for suspend. The laptop will go into suspend, but will not wake up. I have to hard reboot to recover. From my research it appears to have something to do with ACPI and I would like to switch to APM. However all the instructions I found for doing this seem to apply to older versions of Ubuntu before the switch to Grub2 so there is no menu.lst file to make changes to. So I'm looking to understand how to switch to APM in 10.10?
Ever since I started to tinker with GNU/Linux on my machine, ACPI has been a thorn in my side.
I can't find any BIOS updates or DSDTs for my laptop, either.
The only distro I've ever gotten to boot without acpi=off is Fedora 20 with the 3.11 kernel and nohz=off parameter. Which leads me to believe a change in the kernel after 3.11 is to blame.
Anyways, I have installed wheezy 7.8 XFCE with LVM encrypted, but alas I am stuck booting with the ACPI=off parameter.
The installation CD booted perfectly, with my wireless card working (an indication of ACPI functioning) as well.
This leads me to believe that it is possible to have a stable wheezy install on this machine.
The install disc used the parameters: video=vesa :ywrap,mtrr and vga=788.
I tried these, but the boot hanged after "switching to clocksource: acpi_pm".
How I could track down the problem with ACPI on my machine?
I have tried both DVD and CD (both are MD5-checked) of both Lenny 5.0.8 and Squeeze RC on my HP DV7-3074CA. (a.k.a 3085DX)When I choose a graphic install, it just hangs after loading the initial files.When I choose the normal install, It gives the following error:
[1.383207] ACPI: EC: Input buffer is not empty, aborting transaction.
Is there a boot command I can input to override this? I tried removing the battery slot, but the only difference is that that message does not appear, but the setup hangs anyway.
UPDATING:Tried "pci=noacpi" but that did lead to a kernel panic.[1.547564] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
I upgraded to 11.04, but the updgrade crashed, and now it has some errors with Unity crashing every time I open a terminal. Is there any way to re-install without having to reconfigure all my programs? I am running a dual-boot.
I am running Valgrind on my program. It shows me two errors but mentions only addresses against them and not actual code even on a debug build.
The output is

I use Ubuntu live and wanted to run the session with ACPI turned off So at boot-time using F6 I selected ACPI=off However, pstree -p shows, on line 2,: acpid(1817) So how do i really turn ACPI off?
I'm having two distinct Grub boot errors with Ubuntu 9.10, stemming from two different setups. Anticipating that I'll be asked I ran BootInfoScript on both setups. This is the first setup, where I put a Flash ROM card in the Flash ROM port in front of the computer. This setup will not boot at all, and I get a message something like "Insert appropriate media and try again."
I am trying to get Ubuntu 8.10 upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10, I'm having all sorts of errors:
Code:
While scanning your repository information no mirror entry for the upgrade was found. This can happen if you run a internal mirror or if the mirror information is out of date.
Do you want to rewrite your 'sources.list' file anyway? If you choose 'Yes' here it will update all 'hardy' to 'lucid' entries. If you select 'No' the upgrade will cancel.
I went to update today and got these errors. Anyone else getting these?:
Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...tu1.2_i386.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.46 80] Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...ntu1.2_all.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.46 80] Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...tu1.2_i386.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.46 80]
I have to use acpi=off because my PC is crushing/freezing during installation and 2 mins after boot up. Currently I'm using acpi=ht to enable second CPU.
The problem is that my Intel graphic card is slow and Xorg is taking a lot of CPU. I'm also not able to enable compiz when disabling acpi. The biggest problem is the MythTV that is so slow in the menu area alone that I'm not watching any TV in it lately.
When I'm not, it's crushing, no CPU spikes, no strange behavior just crushing without any logs.
I installed Powertop after reading a number of threads of threads about power consumption issues in Lucid. Though it would be good to know what I was doing. But when I run Powertop it tells me "now ACPI power usage estimate available".
I am running Ubuntu 8.04 (it's discontinued, I know) in an ASUS laptop. I'd had to turn ACPI off, otherwise, it would not start. I could update the BIOS, to correct this problem, but on this laptop that's not doable. Without ACPI, sound is turned off too (which is a pity). If I update to the latest Ubuntu, will this problem persist?
1 month ago we bought this computer. It has a GS7610 motherboard, AMd Athlon 3000+ with 2 gig ram, Seagate 500Gb HD and that's it.
I installed 9.10 64 bit, and all was flawless. Worked straight away, no troubles at all.
Then it was telling me the HS had bad sectors, so we took it back to the store today, and they said there was no problem. They also said that the vertical fuzzy lines were an OS problem, when we thought it was a monitor problem.
They also said that installing Windows would solve the problems.
Ok, so I went through the motions of trying to install a proper copy of Win7 pro I have here, and that went ok, albeit annoying
So, back to Ubuntu and did a full, clean re-install of 9.10 64 bit from the same CD I originally used that worked perfectly.
All installed, and I am hitting serious troubles.
There is a network connection, and I can ping anywhere with a small packet. Anything bigger, no go. I can bring up google, but no further. I can't bring up Ubuntu.com. I can't get updates, so even if they would correct the problem, it doesn't matter because I can't get them into the box.
It can download some updates, then finds one that it can't swallow and just locks up. I am also getting 'crash errors' that aren't a good thing.
It worked just fine, and now it's not.
I have searched and re-installed for the past 8 hours straight and still nothing.
I have this here box running 8.04 that just keeps ticking flawlessly, so it's not an update issue. I am here, so it's not a network or internet issue. Win7 got the internet just fine (sans sound).
I am almost willing to just accept Win7 without sound because at least it's something more than a non-updatable Ubuntu.
(And FWIW, you name anything that has been already said to fix the problem, I have already tried it at least twice already...)
Just re-installed for maybe the tenth time, and this time, for whatever reason, it is working just the way it was originally, and it even has the static on the screen going flat out, which I would really like to know how to solve...
Even got it dual booting with Win7 without effort.
The image disk boots OK and comes to the screen that gives the option to try or install. I opted for the "try Ubuntu" once, but got a long list of i/o errors. Tried the install option, and same thing. The install did get to an apparent Ubuntu background, but never any further prompts. Is the iso bad? I'm trying to install on a Dell Inspiron 7500. Currently has Win2000 loaded.
I decided to upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS from Ubuntu 9.10 earlier today. I started the upgrade process, after around 4 hours everything was starting to install. But then certain errors began to pop up. Soon after, the upgrade dialog exited because of too many errors (a screenshot is attached below with other documents).
Right now I have to back up by files and do a fresh reinstall.
Icons are all over the place, some have been deleted, and application menus are "scrambled". Nothing really seems to work except my web broswer, Opera, which isn't a Canonical Ubuntu application.
I have attached to screenshot of the upgrade dialog and the other documents the error dialog wanted me to attach.
Ubuntu 10.04 installed like a charm (I only need to find out why the headphones work but the main speakers do not), but at the end when the procedure ejected the CD, I immediately got:
I/O Error on Device sr0
repeated over and over for a couple dozen blocks.
I did a hard reset and the system is acting normally, but I'm wondering if other people have had the same problems?
Also, when running glxgears, is a score of 3000 normal for the Intel GMA HD video chipset?
A few weeks ago either after the upgrade to 10.04 or on a subsequent system update I have been having problems. I have not been able to use Compiz Desktop Effects and playing videos in full screen is awful slow and choppy. I have tried numerous things to try and fix this and now at this point whenever i try anything through the terminal I get the following error.code...
