#165: 2.6.26 kernel does not get along with Dell 760 Hardware-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------

Comment(by wdc):
This turns out to be more than a one-line kernel change.
The kernel change makes the endless spew stop, but does not fix HPET.
The manifestation of the problem is more serious under Jaunty.
If you choose, "Try ubuntu..." from the live CD, you get a blank screen.
Under both Intrepid and Jaunty, you get much better operation if you set
"ACPI=off"
