In my neverending quest for more notebook dmesgs I've come across
several HP Pavilion systems which hang during boot (using the i386
snapshot dated 5/24), after a line starting with 'acpimcfg0 at acpi0'.
The ones I've encountered so far were labelled dv6-3210us, dv6-3243cl,
dv7-4263cl and dv7-4272us. I've waited for up to 2 minutes before
giving up.
I've tried compiling a kernel with option DDB_SAFE_CONSOLE, which I
thought would allow me to gather more info by pressing ctl-alt-esc
during the hang to break to DDB -- but that didn't work. How can I
gather whatever information is needed to let someone debug this
(remembering that these are store demo systems to which I have only
limited access)? Or is this a known problem for which no more data is
needed?
