(This may be very obvious but I haven't seen it around and couldn't find it after Googling so here it is.)

When booting DSL 2.2b on my Sony PCG-FX101, the kernel would not proceed after the line:

Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel.

(Although there was some CDROM access after this.) When trying the failsafe boot, the machine stopped similarly after the line:

ACPI: IR9 SCI: Level Trigger

All I had to do to fix this was to add "acpi=off" after the boot option. :7)

Yes, indeed. And sometimes a combination or all of these may be needed.

acpi=off  noapic  pci=bios  pnpbios=off
