Summary: 2.6.16.16 and Pentium D dies at boot in ACPI
Kernel Version: 2.6.16.16
Status: NEW
Severity: blocking
Owner: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Submitter: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: Unclear (seems to work under
knoppix)
Distribution: Slackware
Hardware Environment: Pendium D dual core, nvidia graphics, SATA drive
Software Environment: gcc-4.1.0
I posted this to the linux-acpi list and was advised to file a bug report.
Here's where I am with the problem up until now.
Thanks for the reply, I've answered in context below.

Yes, this is the last thing I see (unless I fool around with the ACPI
boot parameters, where I don't even see this line).

You mean pass debug as a boot flag? Sure I can try that.

Fails.
