Comment 6 for bug 110396

Hi Marcus,

I have also tried a custom linux kernel 2.6.21 and the lastest
developemnt relase of the kernel.
System still freezes.

I have done some further experiments...

I have managed to boot the system into single user mode with the boot
options: pci=routeirq

This fixes the edge-trigger problems with the interrupts, but the system
freezes when the i start xorg with any of the nvidia and even with the
vesa driver.

Im out of ideas now... I have just accepted that my wireless network in
inoperable and I get an error every 5 minutes that DVD-drive failed to
mount and in some rare cases it ejects the drive.

The problem lies in the ACPI support for the nForce chipset. Some guy
told me that it an third party bios update might fix the problem, but i
didn't have time to test this.

Tell me if you get any updates on the problem...
