Re: ACPI & APIC

Citando Andrew Kohlsmith [off-list ref]:

I Have one compaq pressario 706EA.
even without ACPI pacthes, I have problems with boot and reboot,
if APIC is enabled.
The first time that I had install red hat 7.2 on my laptop,
sometimes give me oops, I after many kernel installations I
discovered that the problem is with APIC enabled.
I had try kernel 2.5.x and I had same problem.

Btw: as anyone know who or where is develop APIC for kernel 2.4?
