Well, if I can be of any assistance in testing this, I'd be happy to 
help.  Just tell me what to try.

I know I had a similar problem of half-booting with the 2.6 kernel of 
MDK10b2, so this is probably something generalized.  I had been told by 
people in MDK forums that this was possibly related to ACPI?

Also, this laptop can't come back from suspend/hibernate under any 
distro I've tried yet (on FC2test1, Fn-F4/sleep and Fn-F12/hibernate 
doesn't do anything).

Anyway, bottom line I have a laptop that really doesn't like Linux ;-).

Thanks,

Ricky
