I tried 2.6.8-rc4-mm1 on my ASUS L3800C laptop (radeon 7500), defined CONFIG_FB_MODE_HELPERS and I have got a hard freeze when starting X and framebuffer console with a lot of yellow dot on the bottom screen. Suddently I hear the fan meaning the machine is dead

OK I've reverted the most suspect change (remove-unconditional-pci-acpi-irq-routing.patch) and it did not fix the problem. As Karol Kozimor suspected ACPI, I then tried with acpi=off and then it boot but I will burn my CPU as fans are ACPI controlled...

So it is probably due to the bk-acpi.patch and more precisely the difference between what was in 2.6.8-rc3-mm1 and 2.6.8-rc4-mm1.

Len, any proposal as candidate patches to revert?
