He's disabling acpi (power management), you're quoting messages about apic (interrupt controller). Two totally different things. It's a shame the acronyms are so damn close to each other :-/ > When/if the normal bootup fails, I can usually get a complete bootup by using > the nonfb choice. What is there about that choice that lets it bootup (when > apci is *not* disabled there!)? Something to do with video. Try going into nonfb, but pass vga=xxx where xxx is some number between 791 and 798 to get various graphical modes (ie more than 24 lines of text). Blue skies...
