Comment 109 for bug 153702

vostro 200

I tried the fix using the edit of menu.lst, however It did not work.

I have a thread in ubuntu forums:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1066139

However I then used the fix derived from the dell site information explained here:
Fixing the Vostro hang issue:
http://johnbokma.com/mexit/2008/08/05/fixing-the-vostro-hang-issue.html
which relates to a race condition.
this fix has worked.
