My Thinkpad T-30 has served me faithfully for about 1.5 years, but was needing some service so I took it to the shop today. They gave me a replacement laptop (same model, still a T-30), but when I tried to boot up, I got a kernel oops. 2.6.5 boots up fine, and so does 2.6.6 when given the boot parameter acpi=off. The machines are basically identical except for the CD-ROM drive. Might this cause a problem? Or should I be pointing a finger at the ACPI tables and other firmware? Since the kernel oopses before it finishes booting up, I can't even scroll up to the top of it to see what the oops message is. I can copy the callback if it helps. How can I help to diagnose the problem?
