GOTCHA!

I reverted patches introduced in:

commit 2969cd482ebe9c5b82d55917b0cd41175eff042a:
"Merge branch 'misc-2.6.33' into release"

...and now I could boot into 2.6.33-rc2.

Here the revert-acpi-patches:

$ ls debian/patches/revert-acpi-patches/
0001-Revert-hp-wmi-Fix-two-memleaks.patch
0002-Revert-acer-wmi-msi-wmi-Remove-needless-DMI-MODULE_A.patch
0003-Revert-dell-wmi-do-not-keep-driver-loaded-on-unsuppo.patch
0004-Revert-wmi-Free-the-allocated-acpi-objects-through-w.patch
0005-Revert-drivers-platform-x86-acerhdf.c-check-BIOS-inf.patch
0006-Revert-acerhdf-add-new-BIOS-versions.patch
0007-Revert-acerhdf-limit-modalias-matching-to-supported.patch
0008-Revert-toshiba_acpi-convert-to-seq_file.patch
0009-Revert-asus_acpi-convert-to-seq_file.patch
0010-Revert-ACPI-do-not-select-ACPI_DOCK-from-ATA_ACPI.patch
0011-Revert-MAINTAINERS-add-maintainer-for-msi-wmi-driver.patch
0012-Revert-fujitu-laptop-fix-tests-of-acpi_evaluate_inte.patch
0013-Revert-arch-x86-kernel-cpu-cpufreq-acpi-cpufreq.c-av.patch

In [1] you can find revert-acpi-patchset, dmesg & lspci outputs of my
new kernel.

Marciej and Werner can you please verify or dig deeper by partially
excluding the single reverts?
Thank you.

Kind Regards,
