many thanks, but I had a look at this list already.

the difficulty for me is to decide *what* parameter in what combination 
*are best* to try.
means *minimal* bootparameter by *maximal feature*.

so, for instance, if I choose "acpi=off" I got a complete boot, but no 
cpu frequency scaling, with "nohpet" I loose tickless, - afaik-.

pci=noacpi,irqpoll as mentioned by chuck in the first above thread 
doesn't work for me.

I read some more threads about:
- 64 bit fedora should fix this
- hardware design bug,
- bios updates
- ....,

but nothing what's "handy clear".

I believe I next do a serial console trace to start investigating this 
issue in top of that.
