Looking at rc.sysint in initscripts 7.42, we're trying to load the acpi drivers right after setting the hostname. This is on FC1, so I'm not sure this is still the case in whatever version of initscripts is in test1. Could you try setting acpi=off in your kernel command line at the grub menu on boot?
Ok, acpi=off works. Changing to ACPI. Also looking to see if this is a dupe. Thanks.
acpid is just the userspace daemon. The bug is in the kernel acpi driver or, very likely, your BIOS and should be moved under 'kernel'. If you're interested in debugging further, you might want to post to the acpi-devel mailing list as well. Also upgrade your BIOS to the latest version from the manufacturer and see if boots with acpi enabled.
Changed to kernel. Will update BIOS and see post info shortly.
Now that I know it's a kernel issue I see that this is a dupe. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 117044 ***
