Kernel Hangs on laptop after CPU0: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 ...

Hello

I tried installing Arch Linux 0.7.2 on a laptop but the kernel hands after the following line:
Kernel Hangs on laptop after CPU0: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.60GHZ stepping 07

I tried using both the default kernel of 0.7.2 (2.6.16 if I remmeber well) and 2.6.19.1 using FTP install.

Also the line before CPU0: it said that DSDT.aml could not be found in its ram fs.

The install CD's kernel boot very well however. The boot loader is GRUB.

The computer is a cheap 2-years old cybercom, with no options to tune ACPI in the BIOS.

Could someone help me?

Laurent.

I edited /boot/grub/menu.lst and added acpi=off to the kernel options. The kernel boots well. The problem is that the fan is running at 100%. Also suspend would be fine, but as far as I know I need ACPI for that. Since I'm no ACPI expert, could someone give me hints please? I see many ACPI options in the config file of the kernel. I do not know if disabling some options could help. And it seems a little bit long to recompile kernel for each option. I also saw something about DSDT http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/index.php, but I have no idea if it could help me or how.

Thanks for any suggestion

Have a look here, there's quite a lot to tune about ACPI.
