Andreas,
have you got past the booting problem on this box?
if 2.6.18 boots but the latest kernel doesn't, that is something
we need to figure out....

Thanks for the dmidecode output.

Do you notice any functional difference when booting with

"acpi_osi=Linux"        (default for 2.6.22 and earlier)
vs.
"acpi_osi=!Linux"       (default for 2.6.23 and later)

Also, please send me the output from acpidump.

thanks,
-Len

ps
If you don't have acpidump, you can get it from pmtools here:
