ASUS S5200N (S5N) laptop Kernel panic after 2.6.5-1.319

[Matthew Faull]

Every new kernel I've got from my yum update, after 2.6.5-1.319 has been 
giving me a kernel panic at startup (Last one I tried was 2.6.5-1.356) 
on my ASUS S5200N laptop. Its running the latest bios(0210 release).

The only thing that works is turning off acpi at boot. i.e. acpi=off. 
However this means that I lose access to the sound card, and the pcmcia 
slot. (I've tried the various PCI settings as well). I'm using pcmcia 
wireless card, so this means I lose wireless as well.

All of this worked in the 319 release. The error message I get at 
startup looks almost exactly the same as the one this guy reported on 
this list last month:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2004-April/msg00680.html

I haven't been able to work out what changed after the 2.6.5-1.319 
kernel release. I've seen sporadic reports from other asus centrino 
users when I've been googling, with similar problems. But I have been 
unable to find a solution.

Has anyone here found a solution, or could perhaps point me in the right 
direction, so I can find a solution on my own.

Cheers

Matt
