What BIOS do the machines have? 04xx versions are known to be horribly buggy (even the-other-OS(tm) users experience strange things). In case you have BIOS 04.., try to upgrade to 06.. version. Also, does it help when you boot with acpi=off kernel commandline parameter? (do you compile kernel with both acpi and apic support?). -- Jiri Kosina - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
