Hi there, Yinghai, Linus, Bjorn and others.

I started ripping things apart, first with the whole ACPI subsystem, then with PM, with sound and I noticed that things always hung with the nvidia watchdog/TCO module. So, I disabled it and the boot doesn't hang there anymore. In fact, it goes further, and, for the first time since I got my mother's notebook, the nouveau module was loaded.
Unfortunately, it died with a kernel panic and didn't reach the point of X firing up.
So, there is something fishy indeed with these things.
Still open to sugestions. I will now compile a vanilla kernel from Linus's tree gradually putting things in, but from what I already talked with Bjorn, I think that ACPI will be a barrier (and it is sad that so many things *don't* work with ACPI disabled).
