It sounds like the kernel doesn't like something in you're hardware.  I'm
at a loss as to what to suggest on that.  The address below has some BIOS
settings suggestions.  Maybe it doesn't like something in your BIOS
settings.  Other than that, i just don't have any ideas.

I put the Debian list on the cc line in hopes someone there will know
more. 

Sorry I don't know more,
