X21 hanging on probing IRQ11 - Help! (eek!)

[sfaoldun]

Hi all,
I've just reformatted my X21 to start afresh and now it fails to boot the install CD for Ubuntu 6.10 ... it hangs on the following:

Code: Select all

[Timestamp] ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKC] enabled at IRQ 11
[Timestamp] ACPI: PCI Interrupr 0000:00:0a.1[A] -> Link [LNKC] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated, as I'm completely stumped on this one.

Did you verify the CD with the installer to make sure there were no defects in the software?

I also have an X21 and I was able to dual boot Edgy and XP just fine - even ACPI seems to finally work.

It seems as though the problem I was having was actually due to a bug in Ubuntu Edgy and my IRQ table, as I have just popped my Xubuntu Dapper disc in and it has no ACPI problems.

I did do a media check beforehand, as that disc was also used in my desktop machine.
