[SOLVED] Cant boot Thinkpad with acpi after security chip cleared

I just accidently cleared the security chip of my T61p (I was getting an error message concerning TPM after update to new kernel). As I never stored any encyption keys, I didn't think that this should have been a problem, but it turned out, that I couldn't even boot the laptop anymore with a boot CD- the last message I received was about ACPI, so I tried to boot the acpi=off option which worked. I hope this is a temporary solution only and there is a way to get acpi working again. Any ideas are highly welcome!

Problem was solved by removing the hd, booting another hd and back to the old one.. No clou why it didn't work before, or why now..
