Exactly, I think so because I experienced the same problem, not only
*everytime* I reboot from Windows, but also when I'm using my Debian for
a while and then I need to reboot. So, I think the problem is due to
something about temperature, because the kernel freezes just after this

Executing all Device _STA and_INI methods:........................_

Pay attention that this is the exact problem reported by Lindsey on his
M3N after having installed W2k-pro. Well, me too, I've an ASUS M3N
(exactly the M3410C), with XP Pro pre-installed. I've experienced this
error since I tried to install Debian, so I don't know if there won't be
  without M$ OSs.

On the other hand, I never successed to compile correctly my DSDT, even
with that Lindsey upgraded on ACPI's site. I always got 25 warnings and
I never had my sound card working. Well, I didn't use the kernel he
suggested in his ASUS M3N's page
(http://www.commoner.com/~lsimon/AsusM3N.html), because with the
"normal" 2.4.21 kernel patched ACPI I can start /agpgart/ and /dri/
under XFree86 4.3. But all the rest is the same as Lindsey, I mean, I
applied the Mike Hardy's osd.diff patch and so on. Now I can't try again
as I'm a bit busy, but I'm going to make another test with Lindsey's
dsdt.hex (to be completely sure). Another thing is that my DSDT grabbed
in 2 different ways (from 'cat /proc/acpi/dsdt > dsdt.dat' and
'pacpidump' utility) is different from Lindsey's one and even between
the 2 different grabbing processes. Oh, yes, my bios is the version
M203A from the ASUS's site. And probably the DSDT is different from
different M$ OSs (but this sounds me strange). I've a report of my
Debian installation at http://luca.pca.it/projects/asus/M3410C.htm.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
