Linux 2.6-pre1 Does not boot on ASUS L3800C: lock up in acpi while "Executing all Devices _STA and_INIT methods"

Linux 2.6-pre1 Does not boot on ASUS L3800C: lock up in acpi while "Executing all Devices _STA and_INIT methods"

[Eric Valette]

I happily run 2.4.21-pre5 with ACPI enabled and everything works just 
fine. I tried today 2.6-pre1 with exactly the same hardware 
configuration as the 2.4 one and the laptop does not boot. It hangs 
while dispaying : "Executing all Devices _STA and_INIT methods" 
allthough it has already printed several '.'

I reported the same on ACPI devel several (18?) hours ago. For now, the
solution is to compile a kernel without APIC support. No, the noapic option
doesn't help.

The problem appeared in 2.5.74, along with changes in handling a
BIOS-disabled APIC, or so I suppose.

	I get that error plus the message I've been getting from >2.5.69
kernels when booting with ACPI on my Compaq W8000. dmesg/lspci/configs
at 

	http://acm.cs.nyu.edu/~tugrul/acpi/

	The 2.6.0-test1 error is pretty big for hand transcription, but I'll
try setting up serial console if requested.

That's weird. They should have the same version of the ACPI code...

Thanks for responding. Note I have never seen such messages on 2.4 so...

FYI : I tested today with the latest version 0714 and it doesn't change 
  anything... 2.4.22-pre6 + the patch works fine... Someone suggested 
problem with the APIC but its enabled in 2.4...

Just to try to help, as suggested by Karol Kasimor, disabling the APIC 
make the code pass this section. The APIC is now really unconditionnaly 
enabled (regardless of BIOS settings) due to this change in 2.5.74...

<http://lists.insecure.org/lists/linux-kernel/2003/Jun/5840.html>

So this is an interaction between APIC and ACPI... I still think it 
should not crash at least...

BTW : I still cannot boot as the radeon framebuffer driver make things 
unreable. I will stcik with 2.4 for a while...

Boot the framebuffer into 1024x768@60 mode, every other I tried simply
doesn't work.
