Commit 68c23e5520e8286d79d96ab47c0ea722ceb75041 removed the multimedia timer, but this timer is needed for certain Linux kernels. Otherwise Linux boot stops with this error:MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC So the multimedia timer is added again here.
Which distribution and Windows version is that? Also, have they tried the non-dynticks timer (win32)?
