Distribution: Fedora Core 2 but with mainline kernel Hardware Environment: Compaq Presario 700 laptop Problem Description: ACPI subsystem is not loading again in 2.6.7 kernel. It is the same as in 2.6.0 and as far as I remember in 2.6.1 kernel. In 2.6.3 I'm using right now everything is working fine. When booting kernel system hangs during ACPI initialization. The only way is to run under old kernel or disable ACPI, but then cooler is working on full speed and there is no thermal contol so everything is hot. Here comes the the information: ACPI: Subsystem revision 20040326 ACPI: IRQ10 SCI: Edge set to Level Trigger then system hangs. In ACPI debug mode between this two line are informatiom about successful loading of ACPI Table.
Please try add boot option 'nolapic'.
OK, it's working now with this option Here is ACPI boot messages if you need it: ACPI: Subsystem revision 20040326 tbxface-0117 [03] acpi_load_tables : ACPI Tables successfully acquired Parsing all Control Methods:.............................................................................................................

Please test with 2.6.8 kernel, or patch in http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1269 thanks
I'm using now 2.6.9 kernel and its working fine with and without nolapic boot option. Sorry for not testing it in 2.6.8, i was away.
