1 Ok, I thought I had turned it to plain text, but gmail is obsessive
2 about these things. Ok, so I haven't tried with acpi off. One

6 again, it crashes, sure thing. So if nothing else that establishes a
7 point where it will definately crash and I can reproduce the error.
8 Other than that I'm clueless.
