There seem to be a nice page detailing Linux installation and setup on
precisely the kind of machine you have [0]. It gives some recipes on
ACPI/PCMCIA fixes, so it might be useful. In particular there is a
suggestion of booting with 'pci=noacpi nolapic' which might not knock out
the ACPI completely.

Thanks much; an impressive looking page. Unfortunately I
still don't know what these options do. Right now it seems to
be working reasonably well with "noapic nolapic" and I think
my processor was getting kind of hot when I had "acpi=off", so
I'd probably rather leave it this way unless there's some significant
downside to "noapic nolapic". Since I don't know what apic and lapic
are, it's hard for me to guess if there is or isn't.
