Bug Description
SRU Justification:
Impact: The following upstream change
"ACPI: Attach the ACPI device to the ACPI handle as early as possible"
caused the Dell Inspiron 2650 not to boot anymore.
Fix: Upstream revert, which comes in with 2.6.31.6 is supposed to fix this.

Binary package hint: linux-image-
The boot process stops at the point on the image attached below. I tried with kernels 2.6.28-4 through 2.6.28-7, as well as custom compiled 2.6.29-rc3. None of those boots properly. The 2.6.27 series works fine.

summary: |
- kernel 2.6.28 doesn't boot on a dell inspiron 2650 + Dell Inspiron 2650 doesn't boot without acpi=off |

This is a problem with acpi. Booting with 2.6.28 and 2.6.29 works passing acpi=off as a kernel boot-time parameter. Kernels 2.6.27-xx and earlier didn't require any special parameter at boot time.
