Hi there. My shiny new Dell Inspiron 8100 arrived in the mail today... Wiped
Windows XP, installed Debian, and compiled myself a 2.4.17 kernel w/herick's
IDE patch.

However, the system locks hard when I boot it up. The point where it dies
varies - it got as far as starting cron one time.

Compiled a vanilla 2.4.17 & got the exact same thing. I'm not doing anything
exotic.

ACPI is disabled, APM is configured thusly:

CONFIG_APM=y
# CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND is not set
CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE=y
CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK=y
CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT=y
# CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS is not set
# CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF is not set

The 2.2.20 kernel that Debian installed seems to work ok.

Anyone else seeing anything like this?

P.S. Please CC me on replies, I'm not subscribed. Thanks.
