When the patch you mentioned was not applied, I could make it work
with any kernel version by simply adding a 'disable_APIC_timer' in the
beginning of acpi_bus_init, and a 'enable_APIC_timer' in the end of
this function.
By the way, what is Local APIC for? What do I lose having Local APIC disabled

Is there a problem with the idea of "turn off APIC timer before ACPI
initialization and then turn back on after ACPI initialization
finishes"? This is exactly what the tiny patch I've sent does. I would
agree that 'nolapic' boot param "solves" the problem, but IMHO the
idea above is clearer and wor
Ok I verified that:
* This issue is yet valid for current 2.6.8 with acpi=on
* It's valid for 2.4 series up to 2.4.27 with acpi=on
* Patch proposed in 2.6.8 does not solve the issue, so it can be removed.
The only workaround in all cases is the 'nolapic' boot param.
