Hi Seán

You might have the same problem some others have had with intel laptops,
both old and new.

https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6077

Try adding acpi=off too. There are a few other options on that bug you
could try if that works for you. It's a far from ideal solution, but it
is a solution.

You could also add your details to that bug if you are suffering from
the same thing.

Thanks
Claire
