Hello, I've heard of some powermanagement/acpi issues with those laptops under linux and available pci interrupts. Maybe try disabling powermanagement/acpi and see what happens? Not a definite answer, but something one of my friends had run into at one time with that particular laptop model. Maybe also check for a bios update.
Try booting and running "tail -f /var/log/messages" and see if anything sticks out when it locks up.
