Hi,

first of all, thanks for your hints.

No, nothing.

debug.acpi.disabled="cmbat" solved the problem for me. At least, I didn't
see any lockups. But with Matt's latest ACPI commit, I don't have any
lockups even without disabling the acpi battery support.
So perhaps the problem is solved now. Knock on wood...

Bye,
Johannes
