Comment 20 for bug 272530

I have another x86_64 laptop with 4GB RAM that runs 64-bit Intrepid perfectly.

The problem has something to do with that particular CPU and chipset.
And it has something to do with power / CPU frequency. If you put
acpi=off in the boot line, it doesn't automatically reboot, but it
does hang. On Fedora Core 10, I was able to install it from the
installer (live CD does hard reboot), but the installed image would
reboot unless I disabled the automatic startup of the CPU frequency
service. But then, if I tried shutting down Linux, it would again
reboot hard. Maybe the power / frequency management in 64-bits
doesn't recognize the CPU / chipset type or something like that.
