You are right. I dont have a serial port in my laptop. While using the kernel
that comes with 10.3 beta3 my machine boots fine and faster. But after logging
in it is totally unusable. My hard disk access light keeps glowing all the
time.

I am able to press keys. My CAPS lights and all glows. Just that it takes
minutes to respond.

I will try this now.

The machine is very much active. Just that it takes a few mintues to respond.

Ok when I tried the kernel from FACTORY, it just hang infinitely after
"...Freed unused kernel ****" Dont remember the exact text.

I will now boot with again without acpi=off and get the boot.msg and then try
with nohz=disable.

Thanks a lot for all your help guys.
