[Bug 272247] Re: System freezes during boot, unless I hold a key down

[Philip Billington]

Hi all

I can confirm this bug occurs on the Toshiba Satellite A30 Laptop also.

The bug still exists for me in a fully patched 9.04 installation as of
about 30 minutes ago.

The machine is a P4 Mobile, Intel 82852 Chipset.

As above the problem is resolvable by passing nosmp or nolapic to the kernel. 
I de-compiled the DSDT as per the above instructions and found 3 errors, 10 warnings reported, compiling a patched DSDT from http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/view.php?id=907 with iasl and using that at boot also fixes the issue. 

If it will help resolve the bug, I can provide logs of lspci, dmesg etc

If this is believed to be a separate bug due to the
hardware/manufacturer I also happy to raise it separately.

** Bug watch added: xxx ACPI support not a bugtracker #907
