Unfortunately, no 2.6 kernel has worked on this laptop without
acpi=off. I also once booted FreeBSD here just to see how it would
behave and it also hang with ACPI enabled.

computer simply hangs once the ACPI is started (it gives one layman
like me the impression of entering an infinite loop). But, again, this
is just a layman observation of what the system appears to be doing.

I'm OK with whatever you people want me to do to get things right.

Sure, it is here:

    http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito/linux/clevo/linux-configs/config-3.2.0-rc5-12270-g6fe13a6-yinghai

If you want me to change anything, please let me know and I'll try to
do my best.
