P4 - not HT though (not afaik anyway - or for a change I was blind -
running without HT anyway).

Ah. I missed those options. Those might well solve a few things.
Can't reboot atm (At the work and processor is working overtime at the
moment). Also, they mention fesafb - will switch that off for the while
being just to first get the basic stuff working, then try to re-add
that. Don't know whether that will be possible.

I also assume it's at this time impossible to use fglrx with resume/suspend?

"The beast" specs and what I've done (and gotten working) so far is
available at http://www.kroon.co.za/howto.php?howto=toshiba_p10.

I do recall that booting with acpi=off caused the notebook to die in a
similar fashion on reboot. Not sure what the cause is/was but it's
working mostly now. Could be the same thing that causes both hangs.

With regards to the ACPI code though - I've managed to fix all the
warnings and errors, except the one about the ResourceSource error,
which according to the spec is optional but iasl insists it's required.
No idea what I'm going to do about that. Also not sure whether fixing
_WAK to always return a value will actually do something.

Thanks,
