Normally these problems would be gracefully solved, but my USB HCD complains about not having been assigned an IRQ. This ACPI problem is definitely present in mainline, so this is a regression at least on my nForce 2. If this is helpful, in 2.6.2-rc1-mm1 I would see: ..MPBIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC. This error seemed to be harmless and made no difference to the kernel while booting. It's been like that since latter 2.5 kernels, so that's quite a long time. The board is an EPoX 8RDA+ in case this is a vendor bug. Now, instead, I see (in 2.6.2 and 2.6.2-mm1): IOAPIC[0]: Invalid reference to IRQ 0 Later my kernel hangs when detecting hde, as described in another thread. pci=noacpi allows me to get to init, but it breaks my USB HCD. -- Cheers, Alistair. personal: alistair()devzero!co!uk university: s0348365()sms!ed!ac!uk student: CS/AI Undergraduate contact: 7/10 Darroch Court, University of Edinburgh.
