Description Arthur Marsh 2009-04-18 18:35:53 UTC 
As reported at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=524643 - I experienced disk i/o problems leading to filesystem corruption when I enabled the ACPI APIC BIOS option on an Asus M3A78 Pro motherboard. This was when using the 2.6.26 kernel but I do not know if other kernels are affected or not.

I am happy to provide further details and run tests, but I would appreciate some guidance to avoid corrupting the filesystem again when doing so.
Comment 1 Arthur Marsh 2009-04-18 19:43:02 UTC 
I tried booting the machine with ACPI APIC enabled and suffered no disk i/o problems nor errors reported in dmesg for kernels 2.6.26 and 2.6.29, so I may have to put the bug down to not having initially reset the BIOS to a known default state after a BIOS upgrade.

Thanks to those who mentioned that the BIOS option ACPI APIC should be enabled and to report a bug if ACPI APIC enabled caused problems.

so reject this bug.

Arthur, please reopen it if you can reproduce the problem with ACPI APIC enabled.
