I can boot fine with kernel-2.6.12-1.1400_FC5 but get the same

to be functional? I cannot boot with either.
I'll do an update later this day on an HP zd7000 notebook which
relies on ACPI and will report the behaviour.
Could this be similar to my problem where FC 3 kernels boot, but FC
4 ones do not?
The problem might be related to the differences between the way
devices are managed between FC3 and
FC4. Look into UDEV and other possibilities. I think the kernel is
missing some features that the FC4 kernel used to have compiled in.
With kernel-2.6.12-1.1411_FC5 from the development tree I do not
experience any problem with programs running through wine, and I am
using this one on my desktop at present.
1411 locks up for me. I even uninstalled it and then reinstalled it
again with the same problem with it locking up. ACPI doesn't work for me
with this kernel version.
ACPI is a different issue, HP laptops cannot boot without it for some
models. The model mentioned above and my HP ze4315us cannot boot
without ACPI being functional.
Updated my HP zd7000 with kernel-2.6.12-1.1387_FC4smp (it's a P4 3.2
GHz with Hyperthreading) and it boots fine with ACPI.
Even though I have a single processor, maybe acpi was messed up in the
single processor kernel. I'll install the kernel-smp version and see if
it works. I believe the smp kernel always has acpi enabled.
Thanks a lot for the hint.
