Subject:   ACPI related issue with 5.0R on a compaq evo n160

Hi,

I have this strange(?) problem with the acpi drivers in 5.0-R on my 
laptop, it's a compaq evo n160 (perhaps it has a broken acpi 
implementation).
When I boot the system with acpi enabled, it detects alot of acpi
"devices" on the machine but when the kernel is done detecting all
hardware and is about to enter multiuser mode the system freezes (or
goes in to sleepmode or something...) and a hard shutdown is required.
Booting in verbose mode, the last line to show up is
start_init: trying /sbin/init
then, nothing more.
But the machine doesn't completly freeze becase if i close the lid
acpi reports "lid closed", "lid open".
Another note is that if I leave the machine in this state for a while, 
the fan goes on, which tells that the cpu usage probably is at 100%.

Disabling acpi (hint.acpi.0.disabled=1) solves it, but I really would 
want acpi (battery status and such things). Another thing is that apci 
worked (as far as I can remember) on the same machine when I tried 
5.0-current last summer.

I've looked in the mailing lists and on the web but couldn't find any
direct solution. ANY suggestions is more than welcome.

I looked at kern/44128 "Machines hangs during boot, if ACPI is enabled",
but it doesn't seem to be the same error (maybe related).

acpi dump can be found at: http://borg.cx/~fredde/acpi.dump
a copy of the verbose output from boot with acpi disabled (probably not 
very useful) can be found at: http://borg.cx/~fredde/dmesg.boot


Thanks,
     Fredrik
