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.
