From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040123 Debian/1.6-1.he-1 Description of problem: reversing attached patch will make for example Asus SK8N (NForce3) and Epox 8HDA-series (KT800) to boot again. Tyan dual-opteron wasn't affected even w/o reversing patches. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.21-23 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install the latest beta kernel 2. 3. Actual Results: The system panics pretty early in boot Expected Results: normal boot Additional info: i even tried to tweak BIOS settings, but that didn't help. That NForce3 did need before the 'noapic' parameter, but with kernel-2.4.21-23 it's finally first time working (with the reversed agpgart) w/o any extra boot parameters. Sure FC2/FC3 has booted, but i remember seeing kernel just applying noapic on the fly when NFofrce3 was detected. as a side note, the forcedeth seems to be working too, so i don't have to maintain that myself anymore :)
