This is the sort of thing that linux-kernel at vger.kernel.org exists
for. :)

(Well, that or raise a bug in the kernel bugzilla, but posting on l-k is
more likely to get a response, especially if you can track the bug
down a bit more so you can figure out likely people to Cc:. Of course
things like kernel version, kernel config and so on are crucial. If you
can reproduce it with a mainstream kernel.org kernel you're more likely
to get attention. Of course getting all of this is predicated on your
being able to boot it *somehow*...)

This looks like a PCI/ACPI-related bug to me, so Cc:ing may be
unnecessary: Linus pays significant attention to bugs like this and if
you pick a good subject line is fairly likely to make some noise.
Andrew Morton tends to pay attention, too, not least because *any* ACPI
or PCI allocation problems seem to break his poor long-suffering Vaio
laptop sooner rather than later :) )
