First i made shure again that 2.6.18.2 works..... damn shure.

--> NO.

Ahem. All previous tests was done with CONFIG_APM=n. So i tested with 
CONFIG_APM=y. Does not help. It makes no difference booting with "apm=off" 
or not.

Another check:

The laptop muste be powered on on_battery to trigger the problem. If i 
disconnect AC at the grub-prompt the problem does _not_ occur.

The laptop has two batteries. The utraybay battery is nearly dead now, but 
it makes no difference if removed.

This problem is not very important for me, i just wondering why is only 
occurs if running on battery. I would be happy, if someone can explain 
this;-) 

The laptop itself is rock stable (if he boots), never seen any glitch or 
instability (with lapic). I don't know exactly when i started using lapic. 
Its a long time ago (last year?), i have read the message that i can 
enable this so i did. No problems until 2.6.19-rc1....

If nobody can reproduce this, i don't care about the problem. There is also 
a life without lapic:) But maybe it shows a problem anywhere else, timing 
or whatever, so i'm willing to test everything against.

So if someone is interesting to reproduce the problem, i repeat the 
conditions that must be met:

1.: Laptop must be powered on with AC removed (on battery)

2.: BIOS-Setting must be
  power --> Intel Speedstep --> Mode on Battery --> "Max Battery"

3.: Kernel command line must have "lapci"

4.: Kernel must be >= 2.6.19-rc1

dmidecode: (maybe that helps?)
