BTW, when I tried some of your suggestions I saw that I was, in fact, getting
the exact same error message.  I was never able to see it before since the 
laptop became totally unuseable.  

: Try removing acpid from your startup scripts before booting into 2.5.6x
: then check your /proc/interrupts and see if there are a large number
: being generated quickly.

Not sure what a large number really is anymore since I haven't really watched
it in a long time.  Once I removed acpid from the startup it then died on 
starting alsa but when I booted it into single user mode I saw the message
about pci=noacpi.  So, I am now operating under it with acpi on, pci=noacpi,
and no acpid.  If I turn on acpid it hangs the system again so this is kind of
a pointless configuration to run in.  I don't see an unusual amount of
interrupts in this state except on timer and I assume that is normal

: information from you if they are to help.

If anyone would like to look into it just let me know what info I can provide.
I can work like this for a while but it's not optimal - 50% of the time I don't
have pcmcia support on bootup like this (and don't really need it) and 50%
of the time I don't have USB.
