2.6.26-rc1 fails to boot

Hello,

Kernel 2.6.26-rc1 completely fails to boot on my laptop. The last line
appearing on the console is:

ACPI: Processor [CPU1] (supports 8 throttling states)

Kernel 2.6.25 fails to boot in an estimated 1 in 2 attempts. The last
line on the console if this one fails is:

ACPI: LNXTHERM:01 is registered as thermal_zone0

I did a git bisection with "fails to boot in the first three attempts"
as the definition of "bad" between 2.6.26-rc1 and 2.6.25-rc3 which I
believed to be free of this problem. The many reboots in the
bisection process however showed me that 2.6.25-rc3 also has an
estimated 1 in 10 chance of failing. Anyway, the bisection ended
with:

8a3227268877b81096d7b7a841aaf51099ad2068 is first bad commit

The bisection log and dmesg are attached.
