I have a Compaq Laptop (*shiver*) and present distro versions featuring
the 2.4.x kernel seem to panic or lock on bootup on my laptop. I was
wondering if ACPI was better supported in the 2.5.x kernel branch/2.6.0
pre-kernel. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
It would lock when attempting to read my partition table on device 'hda'
(my hard disk), or would panic when attempting to initalize the USB device.

I think the best you can do it's trying by yourself :-)
For me, ACPI in 2.5 kernels do work better than in 2.4.

If it uses a SiS650 chipset you can try this :
http://www.xmailserver.org/linux-patches/misc.html#SiSRt
Even if I am not much confident about success in your case. Also, I
believe Alan was working of fixing ACPI for SiS. You might want to check.

2.4.22pre has the workaround for SiS APIC and that seems to make ACPI
generally work. I've actually been rewriting chunks of the IRQ router
code today and included the SiS fixups and detection Davide did.

I would install and try a different kernel, but I can't get any distros'
to boot to install, let alone install a different kernel. :(

Actually it is exactly the contrary. Distribution's code base is always
older that the one available around here. You will get fixes you can see
today on lkml, "maybe" in the next of your favourite distro.

Visit http://videl.ics.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/linuxpresario900 and you
will find almost everything you want about Linux on this laptop.
