it booted fine and everything seemed normal, but it eventually stopped responding: i could move the mouse but no application would start.
the same thing happened with the boot option pci=noacpi.
with the boot option acpi=off everything was fine, except the fans, of course, that were working at full speed.
i then made a fresh edgy install on my spare partiotion using the live cd. basically, i can only boot with the boot option acpi=off, otherwise it just freezes during booting
