------- Comment #44 from [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2008-05-22 05:14 -------
OK, I did a bisection based on the Ubuntu kernel. This leads to the following
commit that introduces the hang again after it was working correctly with the
8.04 beta kernel as confirmed by Sam:

    Revert "ACPI: video: Ignore ACPI video devices that aren't present in
hardware"

    Bug: #197929

    This patch is reverted because it introduced regressions on working
laptops.

    This reverts commit 50bcae78c21bf5c69d72ede68c8a00e12ab95618.

    ACPI: video: Ignore ACPI video devices that aren't present in hardware

    Vendors often ship machines with a choice of integrated or discrete
    graphics, and use the same DSDT for both. As a result, the ACPI video
    module will locate devices that may not exist on this specific platform.

    Attempt to determine whether the device exists or not, and abort the
    device creation if it do not exist.
