Normally, next message is "smpboot: CPU0: Genuine Intel...".

I added some printks, and check_bugs() returns. Then it goes to ACPI and never
comes back...

kernel-parameters.txt points to Documentation/acpi/debug.txt, but that one does not exist.

Any ideas what debugging parameters to use for ACPI? I either get nothing or
so much that machine does not boot...

Quick test, and 4.6.0 seems to be affected.

ACPI enable on Thinkpad X60 hangs when temperatures are high

I ended up adding printks...

It hangs in acpi_hw_set_mode().

ACPI enable: set mode: acpi
ACPI: hw_set_mode
ACPI: hw_set_mode mode switch
ACPI: write_port?
ACPI: os write port

we write to the port but that never returns.

I assume SMM is doing its magic at that point. Any ideas how to debug it further?

Is it possible that it is some kind of screaming interrupt?

Exact position of debug prints was this:
