I added to the , pass onto kernel line  "acpi=off" and it started to 
boot until it got to the point of detecting mouse,
is there any commands i can send to kernel to bypass mouse detection ?
Error message below;

"input: Macintosh mouse button emulation as 
/devices/virtual/input/input0  PNP: no PS/2 controller found.
Probing ports directly."

This laptop is a Everex Cloudbook and it has no PS/2 mouse connection, 
if you want a external mouse you will have to connect to USB .
It amazing, this laptop has no problem booting into Fedora 8.
I would look at this as a bug, wouldn't you ??
