Trouble installing linux on my Acer Travelmate 8200

BatterBits wrote

An older version of Ubuntu (11.10) has a compatible kernel, so this will overcome the infamous Firewire bug in your Acer 8200:

Once the installation has completed, restart the laptop and open the Terminal.

Copy and paste one of these commands:

Code:
gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-firewire.conf
OR

Code:
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-firewire.conf
Then remove the # from each of these items, save and close the file.

Code:
#blacklist firewire-ohci
#blacklist firewire-sbp2
In Terminal:

Code:
sudo update-initramfs -k all -u
Then restart the computer and install updates.

Next do a fresh installation of Ubuntu 14.04 or whatever.

How do Imodify the new Ubuntu 14.04 so that it does not freeze at the firewire problem?

Thanks.
