Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around > http://mail.yahoo.com Try to boot the kernel without the "quiet" option and see if you get any useful message. Then to see if the issue is acpi related (happened to me in two laptops with some older kernel) try "acpi=off". Not sure of it though. If you don't know how to temporary change boot options see this: http://www.redhatmagazine.com/2007/03/21/using-grub-to-overcome-boot-problems/ Hope this helps :) --
