Hi,

Trembling all over, this is my first post on this list.
Up 'till no I have refrained from posting for I alway thought that any fault
was more likely to be originated by errors on my side, then on software
written by you guys. Therefore, please be gentle *grin*.

Now for the problem:

I have an ASUS a7v-133 mobo and get the following messages when I boot up:

This all seems correct to me, everything works too.

But whenever I enable ACPI in the kernel things stop at the <-- Machine.....
line. Nothing else to do but a reset.

Because it stops right when the things with the drives on the
promise-connectors are to happen, I suspect that is the cullprit.

Any Ideas, or need for a more elaborate description of my system? I gladly
will supply them to you all :)

Oh, also quite important:
