On my HP nx6325 it only boots with "noacpitimer nohpet" on the command line,
but then it works.  Suspend-to-RAM and hibernation work too. :-)

Since 2.6.23-rc4-mm1 only booted with nohpet because of

x86_64-convert-to-clockevents.patch

I guess that the boot problems with this one result from the same patch.
