kernel-2.6.12-1.1387_FC4 Compaq nx9005 won't boot

[Michael Fischer]

My Dell Dimension 4500 desktop also failed to boot after upgrading to 
kernel-2.6.12-1.1387_FC4.  I was able to boot successfully by disabling 
acpi as suggested below, but the less-drastic solution of only adding 
the parameter "pci=noacpi" to the kernel command line also works.  I 
didn't try "acpi=noirq", perhaps that would work, too.
