migrating to Ubuntu

Because I have sound problems under Ubuntu 8.10, I typed into the terminal “sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst”. Afterwards, I made a small change, and added “nohz=off”.

title Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-7-generic
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic root=UUID=bae33ac1-4906-40bc-9924-50fecb63acb0 ro quiet splash nohz=off
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-7-generic
quiet

I found this trick here. I hope that it will work out.

Additional remark: I just followed this tutorial. It is for Ubuntu 8.04. I am using Ubuntu 8.10. But I hope that it will help to solve my issues.

November 5, 2008: It didn’t work out. I am still having sound problems. I will try to make a separate installation of Ubuntu on a different hard drive. It was a mistake to upgrade to Ubuntu 8.10 even though some things are better now. It would be better to use two different installations: Ubuntu 8.04 on one hard drive, and a fresh installation of Ubuntu 8.10 on a different hard drive. Never touch a running system. It might get worse.
