Yep, that sounds like a symptom of nothing good. I don't see any
relevant changes upstream, so I'll just ask:
- does trying a v3.0 or later kernel (e.g., from sid) help?
- if so, what is the earliest version after 2.6.32 you remember
that worked?
- if not:
- could you attach dmesg output from booting without
noapic (for example using netconsole to capture the output)?
- please report this upstream at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/,
product platform-specific, component i386.
Thanks for reporting and sorry for the trouble,
Jonathan
