[Bug 288385] Re: Kernel stops booting on HP EliteBook 8530w

** Description changed:

  I tried todays Intrepid daily build on my new HP EliteBook 8530w. When I
  tried to install Ubuntu with the alternate disc, the kernel stopped
  booting some seconds after the boot menu. I changed the boot paramter
  and removed "quiet". I made a picture at the point the kernel hangs (see
  Attachement)
  
  The kernel stopps working when he says:
  ACPI: Thermal Zone  [DTSZ] 
  
  With the kernel parameter "acpi=off" everything works....
+ 
+ ===
+ 
+ SRU Justification
+ 
+ Justification: HP machines will not boot without this fix
+ 
+ Impact: HP (and potentially others with an _INI ACPI method) trip a
+ check which is intended to be ASUS specific.  This triggers a panic.
+ 
+ Fix Description: Limints the work around to ACUS hardware via a DMI
+ match.
+ 
+ Patch: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-
+ intrepid.git;a=commit;h=0bc6d5188cfce75bcb8b9c715054ff9ba262758d
+ 
+ Risks: this should be low risk
+ 
+ TEST CASE: boot such a system
