Bug#521548: linux-image-2.6.29-1-amd64: laptop toshiba qosmio g30 fails to boot with 2.6.28 and 2.6.29 kernels

[Fathi Boudra <fabo@debian.org>]

Package: linux-image-2.6.29-1-amd64
Version: 2.6.29-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I tried to boot a toshiba qosmio g30 with linux-image-2.6.28-1-amd64 and linux-image-2.6.29-1-amd64 packages.
Both starts to boot then laptop coolers go crazy (run too fast) and the boot process stuck.
The laptop works with linux-image-2.6.26-1-amd64.

cheers,

Fathi
