Hi.
I just as recently as yesterday installed Ubuntu Breezy Badger 5.10 on my Sony Vaio Desktop PC. I've tried most methods posted on the Ubuntu Forums and elsewhere to get around the problem of the bootup freezing at the "hotplug subsystems" part; I tried ctrl + c to bypass it (no luck), attempted to disable USB 2.0 functionality (once again, no luck) and could not disable the sound/modem option in BIOS (the closest I could get was to disabling the audio controller in BIOS). No dice.
When I attempted to edit the boot-line I get past the "rw init =/bin/bash" bit and it still freezes at the hotplug subsystem part after I boot, so I can't add snd_hda_intel & snd_hda_codec to the blacklist with nano. :S
I tried ctrl + c again and it worked, though..
however, when it tries to finish installing packages it says that some packages could not be installed and stops at around 5% then brings me to a command line, no X or anything, with "ubuntu login:" prompt. I thought maybe I should try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org" but I can't! When I try I get "sudo: unable to lookup ubuntu via gethostbyname()"
what should I do?
