Inspiron 9400 owners, this is for you, if you upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS!
As follow-up to this I found a fix to the suspend and hibernate issue since my upgrade. It also (should) correct the intermittent lock before the splash screen on boots (about every 3 to 5).
$ sudo edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
For my main boot option
title Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS, kernel 2.6.32-24-generic
root (hd0,5)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-24-generic root=UUID=daee69bf-c92c-4a42-bfeb-f582936e75f1 ro radeon.modeset=0 noapic quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-24-generic
quiet
I added
radeon.modeset=0 noapic
before the quiet splash
And make it so
$ sudo update-grub
Maybe I’ll get around to changing the others, but that’s my default boot option and it works :-)
Hope that helps.
