after a successful install on a DL760, the machine boots, has the smp kernel highlight and I guess begins to load when the APIC error begins scrolling past. The system is DOA. 8.1 Beta 1 ---------- Action by: Bryan.Leopard Issue Registered ---------- Action by: arjanv does "acpi=off" fix this? Status set to: Waiting on Client ---------- Action by: Bryan.Leopard doesn't appear to help at all (if I did this correctly) When the system displayed the kernel to boot, I hit e which present me with 3 lines. The middle line ended with "ro root=LABLE=/" which I changed to "ro root=LABLE= apic=off/" and hit b. So if that was correct, the result was the same. Status set to: Waiting on Tech ---------- Action by: arjanv acpi=off not apic=off or did you mean that ? (the rest is correct) ---------- Action by: Bryan.Leopard sorry. Just a typo when writing issue. used acpi=off and did not appear to help.
also, it's LABEL=/ acpi=off, not LABEL= acpi=off/
This is Issue Tracker 11864.
COMMENT FROM HP..... typed in LABEL=/ acpi=off and the results are the same, looping with the APIC error
Arjan, didn't we pull APIC support out in Beta 4? (tres unstable). If so, we should close this Bugzilla.....
no we didn't drop APIC support
Must have been a "senior moment" on my part, due in part to the finger-check above;-). Disabling/pulling ACPI support out of gingin does make more sense than APIC.
Bryan, Per dscussion with Arjan, does this box boot properly with later betas?
