Ben, > Another option that may be worth trying is 'noapic'.
Wow, that worked just fine actually on 2.6.26 stock kernel. Thanks a lot! I am curious though, what in the world changed since 2.6.18 and lower versions that might have required noapic? I've seen the option needed by so many people on many occasions, but I've never needed it until now. Any ideas? BTW, I also attached the dmesg for 2.6.26 working just for reference to anyone else who might stumble upon this bug, and for your curiosity as well. > You need to get the corresponding linux-base package from testing or > experimental, but the other dependencies should be satisfiable in lenny. FWIW, I did try grab linux-base too, but it then wanted to pull in a bunch of other packages to do with perl and stuff, so I just opted to recompile using the config and the source package and backport it manually with less hassle (assuming 5 hour compiles are less hassle lol). Also, I did try 2.6.32 from squeeze (after removing the lguest makefile line stopping the compile) and the vanilla 2.6.34 (after a UTS issue that involved tweaking /linux/ path to /generated/) kernel with noapic, and everything worked flawlessly. A shame it took an hour to hand configure 2.6.34 though, but at least I know to disable apic now. Anyways, thank you Obi-Wan Kenobi, errr, old Ben Kenobi ;) troubled -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
