I have had no time to play with the "acpi=off" option and enjoyed two weeks of freeze-free bliss... until today. I am a little worried playing with that one option on a notebook (doesn't no acpi mean no fan ?).
When seeing the early signs of a freeze (that is the light for the hard disk continuously on for few seconds, without blinking), dashing "tail /var/log/messages" gave a last line like: kernel: [4249.908524] res 40/00:00:00 [... many 00 ...] Emask 0x4 (timeout) After reboot that last line does not appear in log/messages anymore (makes sense, no I/O when the problem occurs... but might appear on the spot because of some sort of buffering happening). Since ACPI's involment in the case is suspected, here is what I have in logs with ACPI (no idea whether this is relevant or not) [ 32.899330] ACPI: Looking for DSDT in initramfs... error, file /DSDT.aml not found.
