(1) acpi=off { because the linux support or the BIOS code may be wrong } (2) noapm { notoriously broken in modern BIOS } (3) pci=noacpi { many laptops have incorrect PCI data in the ACPI }Kernels prior to 2.6.7 do not have workarounds for many of those problems. I recommend trying a 2.6.7 kernel (any distribution). The recent DFS CDROMs will install Debian Sid cleanly into 64 bit (see my recent message in the archive) on the e-machines laptops.

I'v this notebook -> http://forum.hardware.fr/hardwarefr/MiniPCPortablesPDA/sujet-1459-1.htm I'v tried a lot of distributions for amd64 (the last debiansid64,fedora,mandrake,gentoo,except Suse). And all the distro freeze at the beginning, all but Gentoo only with the "special" kernel "emachine". It seem's to be a 2.6.3 kernel.Do you know this problem with the kernel ? Please i want to put a Sid64 on my notebook :) Can you resolve this problem ?
