My laptop is a Toshiba Tecra 8200. Hadn't updated my 2.4 kernel in a long time (3 month or so) I thought I would try 2.5.61. After booting is kernel stopped around where it should do a init (right after it has loaded the kernel). But something hangs after freeing memory. So I thought is was because it was 2.5 and still unstable so I tried 2.4.21pre with the latest acpi patch. Same problem. Then I tried booting 2.5.61 without acpi and it worked! Booting without acpi I can see that a lot of the hardware is sharing the same irq (11) [1]. Also when I booted with acpi I could see that acpi had trouble with irq, assigning a lot of them irq 0 or 255. Another thing I noticed was that the dsdt generated some errors. Booting with debug on didn't help much to discover what the problem was. When booting my fan normally starts and then stops after a few seconds but with the hang it keeps running until I kill it. So something is hogging the cpu. Let me know if there is anything else I can do.
