It looks as if the new code is much fussier than the old code about the quality of the motherboard BIOS: this machine runs fine on 5.1, but won't finish booting on 5.2-BETA. Yes, this is probably an ACPI bug, but users aren't going to see it that way: if we release a 5.2 which won't boot on a lot of machines, people are going to blame 5.2, not the machine. I think we should ensure that there's at least a fallback for machines with broken ACPI.
