I do not know if this is related, but testing one of my laptops (always a
good idea to check the week before release) shows that my trusty old
Compaq N620c locks up rather quickly at boot with the current -git tree.
Total lockup - no sysrq, no messages, no nothing.
I've mostly bisected it (what the _hell_ did we do before "git bisect"?),
and right now I know:
commit 9aaed2b42d00d4abb2748d72d599a8033600e2bf is bad (that's Len's "pull
trivial into test branch") commit.
v2.6.19-rc2 seems all good.
Which leaves a chunk of just a few ACPI commits left to bisect.
I'll do five or so more reboots, and I should be able to tell exactly
which commit breaks. It almost always locks up very early during boot
(generally during the "initializing udev" phase), although sometimes it
survives a bit further..
