I have a compaq armada E500 laptop, just put Hardy beta on it, and can confirm this bug.
To install Hardy I had to use acpi-off, or it would freeze rightaway.

For the rest Hardy works fine, except for networking.
The network-connect-button on right-top bar swirls when I plug the ethernet in, and displays a connection. I also tried to boot with
and without the network connected.

Searching on internet suggests that I may have to do with the BIOS, but I can't really get to fix it.
The latest BIOS update HP offers for the Armada E500 is from 2001, so I guess that is not the solution either.

I included my ping, dmesh, ifconfig and lspci -vv
