You don't have to be subscribed to the list.  Just keep them cc'd.

Yes, correct, ethernet hardware address.  Things surrounded by brackets
are optional, BTW.

I see.  If you have access to a second machine, you can connect the two
directly.

    netconsole, pritty nice debunging system... but (yes, there is 
always a but) it does not get to run.
    the method was well implemented, adding the acpi=off it sends the 
information to the receiving machine (I can even see passing a 
netconsole probing message in the machine under testing), but without 
turning off acpi it does not reach the point of loading and, 
consequently, it does not send a byte to the receiving machine.

Hence, result: empty output.

Hmmm.. Are netconsole support and network driver built into the kernel?

If you can set up a serial console, it would be better.  If not, can you
please take a photo of the crash and post it?

I am running short of elements, no digital camera o movil phone for the 
case or serial link.
However, what it is on the screen when it crashes follows:

Not so difficult since most of these lines are also in a succesful boot 
with some of the ACPI turned off.

Hmmm... and the kernel freezes after this?  libata driver isn't
initialized yet.  I don't think libata has anything to do with here.

Thanks.

as I told you, the ATA problem was with the 2.6.22 version of the kernel
and is not longer related to the freeze with kernel 2.6.23-rc8  I asked 
whether you wanted to see the ATA problem in that kernel or the present 
crash.

was my offer.

As you did not answer that point (you answered other points) I thought 
it was useless to debug a problem that is not longer there. I still 
thing that way.
The booting is apparently allocating port services at the  point of 
freezing but not too close of the disk driver, that much I  knew.

Right, sorry about the confusion.  I think the screen capture would be
useful to ACPI developers.  Thanks.

In any case, I appreciate your williness to help, plus I learned things 
I would have not learned otherwise, many thanks to you
