Current Issues

booting
- booting stalls
- boot option 'noapic' helps
- might be related to kernel bugs 8195, 8186 and 7894; see also the discussion in http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-laptops/75587-linux-hp-dv6000-amd-laptops.html
hibernate (suspend to disk)
- kernel panics when trying to hibernate
- with the additional boot option 'nosmp' hibernate and resume works (that is, no symmetric multiprocessing in the dual core processor :-/ )
sleep (suspend to RAM)
- machine hangs when trying to put to sleep
- with the additional boot option 'nosmp' the machine goes to sleep, the sleep light comes on, it wakes up on a key press, but the screen is just blank and the keyboard is not working (for example caps lock and num lock)
- might be related to kernel bugs 6961 and 6058
error messages in dmesg
- PCI: BIOS BUG #81[49435000] found

Notes

The testing was done with the i386 desktop image (live CD) of each release.

7.04 Feisty

Installation: additional boot option 'noapic' (+ corresponding change in /boot/grub/menu.lst)
Hibernate: works if adding boot option 'nosmp', otherwise the kernel panics when trying to hibernate
Sleep: with the additonal 'nosmp' boot option, the machine goes to sleep, the sleep light comes on, it wakes up on a key press, but the screen is just blank and the keyboard is not working (for example caps lock and num lock)
Wireless NIC: the Broadcom 4312 card is partly working with the linux driver after extracting the firmware with bcm43xx-fwcutter (WEP working, but it's slow, WPA not working), see also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx

sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter

Infrared: only working with the laptop's remote control (same as in MS Windows)
3D acceleration: only with the restricted nvidia driver

6.10 Edgy

Installation: additional boot option 'noapic' (+ corresponding change in /boot/grub/menu.lst)
Sleep: the machine goes to sleep, the sleep light comes on, it wakes up on a key press, but the screen is just blank and the keyboard is not working (for example caps lock and num lock)
Infrared: only working with the laptop's remote control (same as in MS Windows)
Multimedia touch key 'Volume Mute': does mute and unmute, but doesn't change color between red and blue according to status
Play/Pause key: only pause, does not play
3D acceleration: only with the restricted nvidia driver

6.06 LTS Drapper

Installation: additional boot option 'noapic' (+ corresponding change in /boot/grub/menu.lst)
Sleep: no option in menu, Fn + F5 not working either
Wired NIC: not working out-of-the-box
Infrared: only working with the laptop's remote control (same as in MS Windows)
Multimedia touch key 'Volume Mute': does mute and unmute, but doesn't change color between red and blue according to status
3D acceleration: only with the restricted nvidia driver

 * Sleep: the machine goes to sleep, the sleep light comes on, it wakes up on a key press, but the screen is just blank and the keyboard is not working (for example caps and num lock)
 * Wireless NIC: the Broadcom 4310 network card requires firmware, one possibility is to use ndiswrapper 1.38, see [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4311_rev_01_%28ndiswrapper%29?highlight=dv9074ea WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom BCM4311 rev 01 (ndiswrapper)]
 * Infrared NIC: only working with the laptop's remote control
 * Web cam: Ekiga does not find the web cam, nor does XSane
 * Volume Mute Hot Key: does mute and unmute, but doesn't change color between red and blue according to status
+The testing was done with the i386 desktop image (live CD) of each release.
