Gutsy(Ubuntu 7.10) installs but fails to boot on HP Pavillion dv6558ea

For the last couple of weeks the Gutsy install kept falling down on my new notebook at *Starting Bluetooth services.

I discovered that inserting fb=false (F6 on boot screen of CD) that I was able to install Gutsy.
Amazing! (after two weeks of trying on a HP Pavillion dv6558ea Intel Core duo, Vista Ultimate).
I need to keep Vista at least until I get everything up and running, so it’s a dual boot install, disk partitioned with live GParted CD.
However when I reboot, I get the
*Starting Bluetooth services
failure again.

The details of the computer are
HP Pavillion dv6558ea
Intel Core 2 Duo processor.
15.4 Display
120Gb HD
2Gb Ram
Intel PRO/Wireless 3945a/b/g 802.11a b/g WLAN & Bluetooth
dual-booting with Windows Vista Ultimate

I have to disable the Bluetooth services, but as I can’t get back into Ubuntu Gutsy, it’s a catch-22 situation - unless some bright and kind soul out there knows the solution.

Ubuntu Tutorials has the solution once one actually can get to the terminal in Gutsy. See

Disable Bluetooth on Ubuntu 7.10
