[Bug 343268] Re: linux 2.6.28 doesn't boot for recent processors with XSCALE

[shayguitarra]

I have tried this as well. Running MSI K9N SLI Platinum motherboard with
AMD 64 Dual Core Processor.

2.6.29 will boot with acpi=off.
However please note that 2.6.28 would also boot in this way *sometimes*. For the past few weeks I have been booting with "nolapic" which is not ideal as I effectively lose half of my processor. (With acpi=off my pc won't shut down properly. It stops at system halted but is still on. With nolapic it shuts down properly.) But I will see if 2.6.29 boots consistently with the acpi=off option.

2.6.30 fails while trying to build the nvidia 180.44 so I haven't tried
with this one yet.
