The messages never make it into a log (and because they run by very fast, this is all I could glean). Happens with both kernels 2.6.38.2 and 2.6.38.3: [] ? acpi_add_single_object [] ? acpi_device_suspend For 2.6.38.4, the messages change slightly: [] ? acpi_add_single_object [] ? unregister_acpi_bus_type Something similar happens after installing Debian Stable (i386 LXDE) and updating to Testing, except that the messages don't loop, but there's only about 10 of them before the system freezes up completely. Fedora 15 beta with 2.6.38 booted fine. ------------------------------------ Hope this is the right address. Feel free to contact me, but I'm a relative noob.
