With that understanding, I checked my own corresponding messages and ACPI processing appears after the ioscheduler messages. Here are my kernel messages. In my case I have an Asrock 939SLI32-eSATA2 motherboard which is using an Athlon 64 X2 4800+ processor. Here we are: Total HugeTLB memory allocated, 0 VFS: Disk quotas dquot_6.5.1 Dquot-cache hash table entries: 512 (order 0, 4096 bytes) SELinux: Registering netfilter hooks Initializing Cryptographic API ksign: Installing public key data Loading keyring - Added public key D4AD441F6DB3F282 - User ID: Red Hat, Inc.

So my guess is, you have an ACPI issue of some sort, but don't take my word for it. Bob Cochran
