Bug#385671: regression report- unlike prior versions, boot hangs unless noacpi =off on Toshiba Portege 7020CT

["Tony Godshall" <togo@of.net>]

Package: linux-image-2.6.16-2-486
Version: 2.6.16-2-486

unlike prior versions, boot hangs unless noacpi =off on Toshiba
Portege 7020CT (Intel Mobile Pentium II, 366MHz, 192MB RAM, 7GB hard
drive)

2.6.15 did not hang.

This behavior was also observed under debian-installer beta-3 install
and when a hard-drive-based debian was upgraded to kernel 2.6.16

Hang point is just past report of serial port detected.
