Re: [2.6.33-rc2] ACPI problems on HP nc6400 notebook

Hi,

as I suspected it is an ACPI issue while I tried to boot with "acpi=off".

I have taken new screenshots and added dmesg (acpi=off) and all
messages in /var/log/* [1].

It is possible to load acpi kernel-module afterwards?
Or it is not possible whenn loading with acpi=off?

@Len Brown:
There are two photos showing thermal problems.
Notebook did shut down in the night.
But this was before 2.6.33-rc2.

I will not try a bisect (visting currently my brother and working with
touchpad really sucks), but I will revert the wmi-related (wmi/hp-wmi)
commits.
There seems problems with wmi on other systems w/ 2.6.33-rc2 [2].

Kind Regards,
