I now have a dmesg and acpidump from a system (labelled hp g6-1a32nr)
which pauses for about 45 seconds at that point, then completes
booting; perhaps this will provide someone with a hint as to what's
happening. I also have a dmesg (with acpi disabled) and acpidump from
a system (labelled hp pavilion dv6-3240us) which hangs for at least two
minutes with acpi enabled. Since these are multiple files each and
this list rejects attachments, I can't easily include them here; I'll
email the tarballs to anyone who wants to look into this.
