Actual Results: system hard locks Expected Results: system boots normally Additional info: This is in the middle of the IDE probe. Out of curiosity, I tried patching the NForce3 IDE for DMA and ATA133. We lock basically the same place with this patch: NFORCE3: IDE controller at PCI slot 00:08.0 NFORCE3: chipset revision 165 NFORCE3: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later AMD_IDE: Bios didn't set cable bits corectly. Enabling workaround.

After talking with mkj, recommend patch to add NF3 to ACPI blacklist, AMD64 patches against FC1 kernel will move back into my priority list once Test1 is out, and I will send this then.
2163 and later have the disable IO_APIC work around in place for NF3, and VIA. acpi=off is no longer required, and no oops on boot.
