Did you have APIC enabled ? If so, please try patch at http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1269

A blind guess: try to reverse the patch [1] and recompile your kernel.

A sidenote: this patch allows to boot an ASUS L3800C with both APIC and
ACPI enabled. LAPIC is disabled by BIOS by default and since some early
2.4.23-pre (when the patch to explicitely reenable such an APIC went in),
this particular laptop locked dead while executing _STA and _INI -- the
reason why it eventually got blacklisted.

In summery: booting with this patch, ACPI and LAPIC (adding lapic to the
commandline to force-enable it) works fine. Once the patch is merged, the
laptop may be removed from the blacklist.
