ASUS F3M hangs when booting after upgrade 7.04 -> 7.10



Hello Ubuntu experts,

my ASUS F3M laptop worked very well with Ubuntu Fiesty for several
months. Recently I decided to upgrade to Gutsy. Since the upgrade it
hangs somewhere during the booting proces with either 2.6.22-14-386 or
the 2.6.22-14-generic kernel. It will boot ok with the old 2.6.20-16-386
kernel, but the the resolution of the graphic card will be low. (version
mismatch between modules)

There are no logfiles of the attempts to start with a 2.6.22 kernel, but
when starting in recovery mode the last sentence on the screen will be
something like:

NET: Registered protocol family 17

or

ACPI PCI Interrupt 0000:00:10.1[B] -> Link [LAZA] -> GSI 22 (level, low)
-> IRQ 22

and often I will hear a tick over the pc-speaker

I know it will be difficult to troubleshoot on such a general
description, but the messages flash over the screen at such a high speed
that it is impossible to read them. When booting with 2.6.20 the
messages I get after this might be "eth0: no IPv6 routers present" or
"lp loaded but no printer found"

What can I try to make the laptop start with a 2.6.22 kernel

Aart
