Comment 120 for bug 272247

"hpet=disable" seems to work well for me on my HP Pavilion dv6810us running 64bit Ubuntu (dual core AMD64, nvidia graphics). I don't have any problems with the remote or volume controls. The only side effect that I've noticed is that I can now successfully suspend the machine, but resume never comes back. Of course, resume didn't work without disabling hpet either, it was just a lot harder to suspend without that option. I suspect that whatever is causing the error on boot is also affecting resume.

This weekend, I will try to do more testing on different options. But "hpet=disable" seems to be a reasonable workaround for the time being.
