(With acpi=off -- havent tried with acpi on yet, that is my test for this morning ;)) Attached is a tar.gz that contains the config file and the kern.log. Note, during boot I was tapping the CAPS LOCK key to see if the keyboard was active, and it appear that keyboard i/o was enabled, as there is a fair amount of info in the logs. Noteing there are also some errors regarding unknown key presses... Also, my touchpad on the laptop didnt work :( Andy.
