BTW,
I have a x60s, but haven't had this problem .. but maybe because I've always used my own kernel.
This might or might not be helpful but try booting with "ec_intr=0" kernel command line parameter and see if that changes anything. On my laptop it does help, somewhat (acpi on this toshiba is a mess)... I seem to need to shut the computer down completely before booting the system with this for it to take effect. I know, this is all very strange, but something is better than nothing I guess

EDIT: After searching google, I tried appending acpi=force to the kernel line in grub. It didn't help.

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X60 Core Duo. Everything worked fine on Ubuntu, but I thought I'd go back to Arch for simplicity and so I'd stop feeling like a hypocrite adminning these forums. And for the speed burst.
My most pressing issue right now is that I can't reboot. 'halt' works just fine, the way its supposed to. 'reboot', however, shuts down the computer, takes me to a message "Restarting System" or some such, and then pauses for several seconds. Then the screen blanks like its in some sort of standby mode, but it hasn't shut down, as the lights are still on and the fans are still running.
My guess is I need to modprobe some module that is missing right now, but I don't know what it might be. Any suggestions?
Dusty
