Oh, I should have thought about that before. Anyway, you'll find the
dmesg for Xubuntu 6.06 on the Xubuntu page:

Done.
I also checked that if_bge could be loaded and was working with acpi
disabled - everything ok.

I've tried twice, and double verified that I type the commands
correctly. after the last command, the machine locks up solid.
Nothing moves locally (caps lock led doesn't respond, front switches
for bluetooth and wireless network doesn't make their LEDs active, and
so on), and the machine doesn't respond over the network either (no
pings, no nothing).

Everything looks fine, until I press enter on that last command.
