Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description didn't include enough information.

Please include the information requested at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingACPI as separate attachments.

cp -r .. command was showing that " device or resource busy", if you can suggest me anything, u are welcome

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

Can you please try with the stable release of Intrepid Ibex, please? Let us know if it is working now - if not, please re-attach the information I initially requested from within Intrepid. Thank you.

We are closing this bug report because it lacks the information we need to investigate the problem, as described in the previous comments. Please reopen it if you can give us the missing information, and don't hesitate to submit bug reports in the future. To reopen the bug report you can click on the current status, under the Status column, and change the Status back to "New". Thanks again!

I think I reported earlier also that it's working in Ubuntu 8.10 but
sometimes when there are too many things open, it doesn't hibernate and says
"not enough memory space".

Hi Varun, thanks for the feedback. It sounds like you don't have enough swap space to cover for the amount of RAM in your system, so you should check that. If it is indeed the problem, then you should resize your swap partition to be at least the size of your existing RAM, 1.5x-2x your RAM is recommended for swap space. I hope that helps.
