[Bug 134856] Re: Harddisk to slow on HP 6715s

[knuutsen]

Hey Simon,

early that morning i had the last freeze with hardy + 2.6.24.21
(released 20.10.). After that, the decision was clear to update with
"sudo update-manager -d" to intrepid. During updating it freezes again
- crap - . At 7 am taking the normal 64 bit intrepid live cd and i
installed the intrepid again. To make sure that this works before
pressing the installation button i was pressing F6 and added the
follows; nohz=off and noapic. I did that only to be sure having a quick
install. It went well after the first boot i still got the fan blowing
me away. I set the flag "noapic" in the menu.lst. This fixed the prob.
Now it works very well and i'm hopefully that my 6715s HP will not
freeze again under intrepid. I also installed fglrx from envy; type in
terminal " envyng -t" and it works fine yet.

But now i also silence with the fan i never had before...hmm.. lmsensors
... says that the temperature is ok ... and acpi from ubuntu is
working... it sounds all to be good now my question at you:

What does "noapic" exactly do? Is there some danger to my laptop to run this flag for ever? :-)
greets knuutsen
