I see this is a relatively old message, but I think I have a solution, so possibly it will help someone...
I had the same problem with my ASUS X 56 T notebook (M51TR motherboard, AMD Turion ZM82 dual core processor). The problem seems to have been solved upstream, all Debian sid or sidux 2.6.29 kernels work, any other kernels from any distro don't and produce the same symptoms as you described. As a workaround, don't use acpi=off. Use instead maxcpus=1. This should enable ACPI with the older kernels without crashing, if it is really the same problem, as I suspect because our machines share a motherboards from the same series. (M51T/TR). However, you can only use one CPU core (also with acpi=off, so nothing lost). To use both cores and ACPI without crashing, you have to use a 2.6.29 kernel, so either - compile one yourself - or install one from the Debian sid or sidux repository (don't install anything else from there, mixing Ubuntu and Debian won't work) - or wait for Ubuntu to bring it to you via dist-upgrade (takes probably until 2009-10) Patrick -- acpi error on startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/267254 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
