In the last time, more and more laptops have problems to
boot with Linux.

The most frequent problem is that IDE drives are not
found, or cannot be accessed because reclaimed as ocupied.
The only mean to access them and to get it booted, is
with pci=off. However, with this, the system becomes
almost unuseable, lspci also shows nothing. ITS
NECESSARY THAT SOMEONE MAKE A KERNEL PARAMETER pci=noide
, so that all hardware is registered, with exception of
ide (and sata) drives !!!! This problem, for example,
also happens on IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad laptops.

A Toshibe Satelite laptop, I need go back to kernel 2.6.23
. With later kernels, at the beginning of the boot the
screen become black and nothing more happened. The same
happens on that laptop with all newer Slackware kernels
