Description of problem:
########################################################################

I am attempting to PXEboot a Sylvania G using the Fedora 10 Beta vmlinuz and initrd from: 

http://linux.nssl.noaa.gov/fedora/linux/releases/test/10-Beta/Fedora/i386/os/images/pxeboot/

I am using these boot options for pxelinux:

default linux
label linux
        kernel vmlinuz
        append initrd=initrd.img debug earlyprintk=vga,keep initcall_debug

The boot process halts on the message:

ACPI: EC: Look up EC in DSDT

which is located in the 

acpi_init+0x0/0x224 call.

In previous versions of the kernel (2.6.24), this condition never occured.

########################################################################
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
########################################################################
2.6.27 (Was never able to determine what the full revision was, since I can't boot it)

########################################################################
How reproducible:
########################################################################
Always


########################################################################
Steps to Reproduce:
########################################################################
1. PXEboot the machine with the Fedora 10 Installer environment


########################################################################
Actual results:
########################################################################
Displayed:
calling acpi_init+0x0/0x224
ACPI: EC: Look up EC in DSDT
<stops here>


########################################################################
Expected results:
########################################################################
Should successfully boot into the installer environment.


########################################################################
Additional info:
########################################################################
The processor is a VIA C7-M.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.

The kernel release for Fedora 10 boots on this laptop just fine. Closed.
