|pci=noapic or pci=noacpi  One of the erros I got referred to boot with 
|pci=noacpi.  I thought the apic was all or nothing.

Sorry for the typo...

The correct one is of course: pci=noacpi

ACPI = Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
APIC = Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller

AFAIK acpi uses apic to get the irq-routing (to get around the legacy "only 
15 irq"), but when you tell 'pci=noacpi', you gives the control of pci irq 
to bios (and thereby limits the irq-addressing on the pci bus to the 15 
legacy irq, as an "compability mode")
