Machine boots without any problems. Does this mean that 2.6.18.2 - using no boot parameters - actually doesn't (fully) use ACPI? I would have thought that ACPI gets used if no boot parameters are supplied, and acpi=force would only aggravate problems on machines that can't boot without acpi-"limiting" parameters (such as acpi=off, as posted in the bug report). Well, (as stated) I'm not a linux expert, I may have learned something new :-) Thanks so far. Will do some more testing during the next several days to see if the machine continues to reliably boot with acpi=force. Will post the results in a few days. P.S.: I did not try noapic, as already acpi=force as only command line parameter was successful. P.S.2: here are the acpi related messages from dmesg from a successful boot with acpi=force: BIOS-e820: 0000000017ff0000 - 0000000017fff800 (ACPI data) BIOS-e820: 0000000017fff800 - 0000000018000000 (ACPI NVS) ACPI: RSDP (v000 SONY ) @ 0x000f6bb0 ACPI: RSDT (v001 SONY Z3 0x20010512 PTL 0x00000000) @ 0x17ffc1c4 ACPI: FADT (v001 SONY Z3 0x20010512 PTL 0x000f4240) @ 0x17fff764 ACPI: BOOT (v001 SONY Z3 0x20010512 PTL 0x00000001) @ 0x17fff7d8 ACPI: DSDT (v001 SONY Z3 0x20010512 MSFT 0x01000007) @ 0x00000000 ACPI: PM-Timer IO Port: 0x8008 ACPI: Core revision 20060707 ACPI: bus type pci registered ACPI: Interpreter enabled ACPI: Using PIC for interrupt routing ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI0] (0000:00) ACPI: Assume root bridge [\_SB_.PCI0] bus is 0 PCI quirk: region 8000-803f claimed by PIIX4 ACPI ACPI: PCI Interrupt Routing Table [\_SB_.PCI0._PRT] ACPI: Embedded Controller [EC0] (gpe 9) interrupt mode.
