AFAICS the problem is when the kernel is enabling the IOAPIC it just hangs. The work around is to boot with the "noapic" kernel boot parameter. I also have some problems with IRQs and with the ACPI implementation. There's a fixed ACPI DSDT you can download at acpi.sf.net. My laptop is a 1691WLMi but it's probably very similar, download the original DSDT, and check against your laptop's DSDT. I would gladly help people fix these problems, just say what you need to help fixing it. I found a patch that makes the kernel boot without need for "noapic" and "pci=routeirq". Looks like this bug is a duplicate of bug 4700. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4700 issue resolved.. it was UP_IOAPIC, not entirely sure how I missed it... issue resolved.. Dropped from GCC 3.3 to GCC 2.95, got rid of UP_IOAPIC (not entirely sure how I missed UP_IOAPIC during compiles), and the issue has vanished... I anyone wants, I can compile various kernels against various gcc versions, if a better picture is needed/desired. |
