Re: Oops during startup

["Andrew D. Keyser" <andrewdk-Wuw85uim5zDR7s880joybQ@public.gmane.org>]

Your problem seems similar to mine; I can't boot any kernel newer than 
2.6.6-mm4 without using acpi=off. When the kernel boots, it gets to 
"ACPI: IRQ9 SCI: Level Trigger." and stops. I have an HP ze4560us. The 
stranger thing though is that I can't even load the Gentoo LiveCD 
without acpi=off, so something must be broken either in my laptop 
(however that happened) or in both of the kernel versions...
Might not be related but the symptoms are similar so I figured I might 
as well add on.
