Bug Description

On my notebook, HP Compaq nx9005, I cannot use the Ubuntu stock kernels, for
they hang immediately when ACPI is loaded. acpi=off "solves" this.

I built a custom kernel using a DSDT from http://emeitner.f2o.org/nx9005/#acpi
which works fine. However, also without this DSDT, the kernel would boot
correctly /with/ ACPI.

Did you build your custom kernel based on Ubuntu sources or kernel.org sources
(which release?)

I can't run Ubuntu 'cause it hang immediately when the system is starting (both live cd and direct installation)... :(

It's an hardware incompatibility... :(

Ubuntu 9.04, Stock kernel 2.6.24-14

Booting in recovery mode, the system hangs after having recognized power on, stanby, ecc. acpi buttons.
If I disable ACPI in BIOS; or add the kernel parameter acpi=off, then the system boot normally.
