ACPI+HP omnibook -- freeze until power is pressed?

[Pavel Machek]

Hi!

I'm seeing strange thing on hp omnibook... I work on console, and
machine suddenly locks up without me doing anything strange. So I
press powerbutton for a short while, and ... machine continues to work
as if nothing happened. Not even keyboard presses are lost.

But its annoying, anyway. 2.4.14-acpi. Happened ~10 times so
far. Anyone seen something similar?

Hi,
I've experiensed something with my laptop (Uniwill):
It sometimes locks up when I've booted up, and the powerbutton sometimes
help, other times it just powers off.
it has happend for me since kernel 2.4.3, but since by laptop is buggy I
thought it something wrong with it. seams I was wrong..

YES!  Same problem here.  HP Pavilion N5430 (Duron/ALI MAgik1 notebook).
Seems to happen a lot under X as well.  2.4.16 (been happening for a long time).

Machine seems to freeze up, w/ interrupts disabled, but just hitting the
power switch for a quick second (not long enough to shut it off), seems to
make the machine unstuck.  Happens a lot for me if i happen to switch
consoles to X and start using the touchpad before X is fully switched in.

been bothering me for a while...
