Linux 2.6-pre1 Does not boot on ASUS L3800C: lock up in acpi while "Executing all Devices _STA and_INIT methods"
I happily run 2.4.21-pre5 with ACPI enabled and everything works just fine. I tried today 2.6-pre1 with exactly the same hardware configuration as the 2.4 one and the laptop does not boot. It hangs while dispaying : "Executing all Devices _STA and_INIT methods" allthough it has already printed several '.'

I reported the same on ACPI devel several (18?) hours ago. For now, the solution is to compile a kernel without APIC support. No, the noapic option doesn't help.
The problem appeared in 2.5.74, along with changes in handling a BIOS-disabled APIC, or so I suppose.
Best regards,

I get that error plus the message I've been getting from >2.5.69
kernels when booting with ACPI on my Compaq W8000. dmesg/lspci/configs at
http://acm.cs.nyu.edu/~tugrul/acpi/ The 2.6.0-test1 error is pretty big for hand transcription, but I'll
try setting up serial console if requested.
