Hardware issues in ubuntu/xubuntu

No comments
Recently i was trying xubuntu. I was facing some issues with my 4 year old PC. My realtek ethernet card and onboard sound card was not detected. Even `lspci` returned nothing. After banging my head against the wall for a few hours and searching on the net revealed that i have to add "pci=noacpi" to my kernel arguments(in grub press 'e' and at the end of the string append this).

After that everything worked like a charm. I dont know why this happens but it did gave me some problems cause i had to reinstall some distros cause my hardware was not getting detected properly.
