Hello
I've got a problem with rebooting my linux on laptop hp nx6310 (centrino
core duo). After restarting bios hangs for a while and it runs slower then
usual (up to 15 seconds until grub loads). After that, my linux works
quite fine, however I'm not able to achieve maximum cpu speed with cpufreq
and acpi doesn't show actual information about battery left (it shows all
the time 2:30 hours left) - simply, acpi hangs in the moment of booting.

But there is also windows on the same laptop. It reboots smoothly and
quickly. There is no bios hanging effect. And after such reboot from
windows, when I boot linux, everything works fine!
I guess it's the problem of the way how linux' kernel reboots. Or maybe
acpi fault? Can somebody tell me what can I do with it?

kernel 2.6.17.4, 2.6.15 , tested on ubuntulinux, archlinux.
I'll supply my kernel .config if needed.
