I have done more work on this, and after recompiling the kernel that comes with Fedora 1 (2.4.22) with ACPI support in the kernel (not as a module). The system worked fine, but then I realized that I had to re-compile pcmcia-cs, I downloaded the the lastest source from sourceforge, and after compiling it and installing it... boom! The laptop started freezing up again. So, whatever this problem is has to do with pcmcia-cs and acpi support. and like I said before, that worked fine on RH 9. More information... this time I have some good news. ACPI is working 10 out 10 right now with PCMCIA, but I had to turn off the rhgb (redhat boot screen)... for some reason that is affecting ACPI and making the laptop to freeze up. That's really bizarre, as rhgb isn't doing anything particularly special. I'm having the same problem on my Dell Latitude d600. Laptop freezes in graphical startup, but not in text. Only happens when acpi=on in grub. is this the same as Bug #109869 ? http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=109869 if so, apparently, unplugging pcmcia cards during boot also (temporarily) solves the problem. I'ven't tried it yet, though. does rhgb + acpi still hang when running an updated kernel, say FC2? using fedora 1 with kernel 2.6... it did... not sure with FC2, waiting for final release. how recent was the 2.6 kernel that still fails? did removing the pcmcia card until after login help? I understand that taking my pcmcia card solves the problem... but that is not a real solution. I can boot windows, red hat 9, or any other linux version with my pcmcia plugged... fedora shouldn't be any different. I ran kernel 2.6.0 and 2.6.1 - I have tried any new versions lately. errata: I meant... I haveN'T tried any other new version. *** Bug 109505 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/ > If I turn acpi=off on grub the computer works like a charm.
try "acpi=on nolapic" and see it if works like a charm.
if it yes , you are another apic victim, you have to disable local
apic seems linux and windows ?! work well without them
