After switching from 2.6.20-r8 to 2.6.21-r4, my system hangs at an unspecified time, with some acpi messages like "[<c0123456>] acpi_somestring" flowing over the screen: http://i14.tinypic.com/4kbzv3b.jpg System does not respond, even SysRq commands are not working. It first occured during module-rebuild after the kernel update, at that time i had some of the new options switched on (High Resolution Timer, etc.). Then, with the IMO critical options switched off, it happened again during some emerge action. Then I used make oldconfig with my 2.6.20-r4 config and said No to all the new options... this time I didn't even get to the login shell... it hung shortly before finishing the boot. I had to switch back to 2.6.20-r4, everything's fine with this one. It is an Acer Extensa 3000 Laptop. I'll be attaching some output, tell me if something relevant is missing.

Created attachment 124716 [details] kernel .config
Created attachment 124722 [details] /var/log/kernel/current (part of it) I guess the last line is the last thing the kernel logs before it hangs.
Can you please test with gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r1 ? Thanks.
(In reply to comment #3) > Can you please test with gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r1 ? Thanks. > Alright, no problems with that one so far, .22 seems to work fine again. Thanks. But maybe .21-r4 shouldn't be marked stable?
