I found this discussion which you might find helpful http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3518/t/19382036.aspx. It looks like booting with acpi=off or acpi-noirq helped. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Good luck, -- Mike Hello Mike !!! YES ... BINGO... Great Mike. Thanks, thanks, thanks... The solution to my problem is "acpi=off" kernel parameter. I installed the Fedora-15-x86_64 on my Dell XPS-15z and it is working FINE. Please Mike tell that to the people that use Dell XPS like me. Great Mike... Thank you so much again man... Bye.
