Re: [Staffslug] Ubuntu 9.04 Install - Yes or No

Hi Dave, all, I've had fantastic success with both my laptop and my girlfriend's laptops. They've both installed flawlessly (and as a side-effect, the ACPI CPU stepping seems to be working properly on my girlfriend's laptop now!) with zero hardware issues. I'd thoroughly suggest giving the live CD a try... No need to bother with dual-booting to test the hardware compatibility. ;) I have had one issue, which when I have some time, I intend on reporting to the ATARAID list and/or the Ubuntu dmraid maintainer. dmraid doesn't detect my nvraid RAId-0 set with the 2.6.28-11 kernel and the -15 dmraid release. Nothing changes with the 2.6.27-14 kernel from Intrepid, BUT with the old kernel and the -14 release from intrepid, it *does* work. So at present my desktop machine is still having to use the old kernel, until I can obtain a fix for the problem. Oddly enough the RAID-1 device is detected perfectly - sadly this only has data on it, and not my boot system. So, aside from my 'silly' use of dmraid, I've not had a problem with jaunty - I quite like it!
