Current Issues
- booting
- booting stalls
- boot option 'noapic' helps
might be related to kernel bugs [http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8195 8195], [http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8186 8186] and [http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7894 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)
- 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)
- seems to be related to the free nv video driver; 'nosmp' and the restricted nvidia driver makes the machine sleep and wake up
might be related to kernel bugs [http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6961 6961] and [http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6058 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: works with the restricted nvidia driver; with the open xorg nv driver 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
