Hooray. You have nailed down the problem to the ACPI subsystem.

Hmm. I suspect we can get the USB mouse to work later.
What happens if you turn off quiet and rhgb in the kernel command line
(the same place you put the acpi=noirq)? It will still hang, we just
might get to see what's causing the hanging.
I have turned them off now, and got the following:
Before the welcome to fedora..... I had some ACPI errors, it is too much
text to write down and reproduce her, is there some way to log the
startup text to a file or something?
After the welcome i got the following:
(Freely translated from norwegian to english)
Setting hostname localhost [OK]
Initializing USB controller (ohci-hcd) [OK]
Mounting USB-filesystem [OK]
Then the system hang....
Is there also a way to keep the whole starup in English instead of
norwegian?
James:
One other thing to consider: I don't know if your laptop supports APM,
the older equivalent. You might investigate turning ACPI off
permanently, which should enable APM. You'd then have to configure the
laptop to use APM to do laptop-style stuff like power management and
suspend. I can't really help you there.
I have a 1 year old Fujitsu Siemens Amilo A7600....
If anyone reading this has some info on this please supply it :-)
I've tryed the power management thing without success
Thanx Again!
