Comment 82 for bug 220706

I am having the non-boot issue with Jaunty. XFX 680i lt motherboard, and I did *NOT* have an issue with Ubuntu until 8.10 and now 9.04.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/380462/comments/1 has a complete set of hardware listings.

I am disappointed that Ubuntu team released with so many bugs slip through, especially bugs that have been ongoing like this one that is serious enough to prevent a normal boot, and the audio bug that basically prevents any real use as a desktop.

This is especially bad when I am trying to convince others to switch or try Ubuntu - to them it says Ubuntu is simply unreliable and crap for fixing a long running bug that prevents a fundamental thing like booting (or audio use in my other bug report)..

Devs: this is your "jump the shark" moment. Fix it or lose the opportunity to get people to use your distro.
