What is it on Laptop that would cause a Lockup??
ACPI = Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
The rest of the line is greek to me but you might try fiddling with
the BIOS settings. You don't say what kind of laptop you have but
sometimes BIOS features have to be turned off to get things off the
ground. Don't quote me here but I think DSDI is related to debugging
so i would look for something related to this in the bios and try to
disable it or enable it depending on its current status. You can
always, if you get into trouble, restore defaults in the bios and also
there is usually a way to load optimal settings in the bios, which
could solve your problem.

I added to the , pass onto kernel line "acpi=off" and it started to
boot until it got to the point of detecting mouse,
is there any commands i can send to kernel to bypass mouse detection ?
Error message below;
"input: Macintosh mouse button emulation as
/devices/virtual/input/input0 PNP: no PS/2 controller found.
Probing ports directly."
This laptop is a Everex Cloudbook and it has no PS/2 mouse connection,
if you want a external mouse you will have to connect to USB .
It amazing, this laptop has no problem booting into Fedora 8.
I would look at this as a bug, wouldn't you ??
