I am seeing the same with an ACER F5000. pci=nomsi let the machine still boot. I tried a bit and I think I got it, for me it's this one: commit 78b7611c4a1e3ff008abc4751b566cb533d68f3d Author: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Jun 1 00:46:33 2007 -0700 My problem: The laptop does not have an serial output device, I try to set up a fire wire console, but might have cable/HW problems. What else can I do to help? What do you need?
