Ah, the freeze now returned during the rc2.d sequence, after xmd, acpid and cpufreqd have been started, and as cupsd is being started. All I did was used acpid to switch to external monitor via ibm-acpi's /proc/acpi/ibm/video interface. I can see the freeze with 2.6.14-18. If I pass acpi=off on the command line, it boots fine; if I disable acpid in rc2.d, it boots fine. Again, this has happened on two separate motherboard/CPU/RAM/Bios/hdd combos. Same laptop though, same Bluetooth/Wifi card, same LCD. -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org> : :' : proud Debian developer, author, administrator, and user `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck - http://debiansystem.info `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems
