fedora core 1 Unless I put acpi=off, locks machine with this error ACPI: subsystem revision 20031002 spurious 8259A interrupt:IRQ 7 bios revision 1.50(kam)-latest from compaq.
Does it work with pci=noacpi? Can you attach the resulting dmesg? Can you try the latest ACPI patch against 2.6.0? http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/patches/release/2.6.0- test11/ Can you try 2.4.23? Please attach the output from acpidmp, available in /usr/sbin/, or in pmtools: http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/utils/ thanks, -Len
another thing to try -- does booting with "nolapic" help?
nolapic makes it work with test9. with test11, and 2.6 final, nolapic allows a boot, but when you start pcmcia with wpc11 in, it locks.
ok, you can get around it and use acpi if you append nolapic pci=noacpi to boot parameters.
Please test 2.6.5 and let me know if nolapic and pci=noacpi are still both necessary. My expectation is that nolapic is still necessary, and that we should look into making that automatic, so Please attach the output from dmidecode, available in /usr/sbin/, or here: http://www.nongnu.org/dmidecode/ or http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/utils/
please test the patch in bug 2044 thanks, -Len
