As @abed
My 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. And as I can’t boot into Gutsy, So like abed above, I don’t see how I can follow your excellent tutorial when I can’t get to the terminal.
I’d like Bluetooth, but I can sure live without it now. I’m certainly blue in the face with it.
Thanks for all the good writing.

Any hints on how to do the “Disable the bluetooth services” section in KDE? I keep seeing the same info everywhere on how to do it in Gnome, but no-one seems to mention the KDE version. Thx!

I know this sounds obvious, but it might be worth stating to check your BIOS if you can disable bluetooth from there!

Did you not forget to also blacklist the “bluetooth” module ?
With your suggestion the Bluetooth module is still loaded.
