Please get Linux up and running on the two boxes using whatever means are at your disposal (some mentioned in the thread above are acpi=off, pci=noacpi, pci=conf1, noapic hda=noprobe hdc=noprobe) Download the latest stable kernel.org kernel (2.6.22.1 today) Make sure that the latest kernel still fails unless you apply the workaround(s). Then open two a bug report for each machine here: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=ACPI Attach the output from acpidump, as well as the complete dmesg and lspci -vv output, and paste the contents of /proc/interrupts. Then, if you can capture the console output taken from the actual failure case, that would be ideal > As we drive many machines from the same kernel image via PXE, I tried to > insert them into drivers/acpi/blacklist.c; but that doesn't help, either - > the notebook hangs as before, no matter whether I set is_critical_error or > not. > [ I suppose I wrote the entries wrong; is there some HOWTO?

Help? ] Lets see if we can find out what the problem is before we blacklist the machines. thanks, -Len - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
