@Jost Menke: Thanks a lot for your reply. I tried the RC4 of the kernel. No change:
It works OK on battery when I pull the plug after start up. Booting up on battery does not work.
The freeze occured just after the sound was played on presentation of the login panel.
A short time after freezing, the screen went blank and I had to switch of manually.

My BIOS is not the latest one. There have been updates by ASUS. However, there was no documentation that any of the updates would fix ACPI problems. Anyway, I haven't got Windows for use of my laptop since it shipped with FreeDos as operating system. ASUS only provide their BIOS-updates in the form of Windows installers which unfortunately leaves me unable to install a BIOS upgrade.
