CentOS - Apr 2007 - laptop install centos 5

Hi all,
I was just installing centos 5 on my new dv9000 hp laptop.
Installed fine. on first boot, I got through welcome, firewall, selinux
was on date time screen and did Forward to goto next screen (Create User)
and the machines locks up. can ping any more or anything....

Any ideas?

Jerry

Hello,
I've heard of some powermanagement/acpi issues with those laptops under 
linux and available pci interrupts.  Maybe try disabling 
powermanagement/acpi and see what happens?  Not a definite answer, but 
something one of my friends had run into at one time with that 
particular laptop model.  Maybe also check for a bios update.

Try booting and running "tail -f /var/log/messages" and see if
anything
sticks out when it locks up.

I have a dv9000 (amd turion) and had lockups with both ubuntu 6.10 and
fc6.  Adding noapic to the kernel boot parameter seemed to fix it.
