/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.17/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt says:
disable_timer_pin_1 [i386,x86-64]
Disable PIN 1 of APIC timer
Can be useful to work around chipset bugs.
/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.17/Documentation/x86-64/boot-options.txt says:
noapictimer Don't set up the APIC timer
Based on that, I'd say that 'noapictimer' just doesn't use that timer,
while disable_timer_pin_1 provides a workaround for the problem. I guess
I'd use the latter if it works.
