Tried this unsuccessfully, but fixing cpu freq to 100Mhz (instead of
133Mhz) seems to work...
I've read something about disabling firewire in the bios, but I have it
on a separate card (not in the MB), and I can't remove it for the moment...
Also try disabling APIC (not ACPI) as I've encountered several mobos
that have this implemented poorly w/c results in weird behaviors of
the OS.
I'm not kernel developper, but I may try patches or ?
I'm not aware of any patches but I think this is just a hardware
config problem tho YMMV.
Working at 133Mhz with hint.apic.0.disabled="1" in looader.conf.
Thanks for that :)
I saw at http://acpi.sf.net/dsdt/view.php?id=233 that a dsdt specific
for this board is available... (not fixing all), could this fix
anything in my case ? I think I'll give a try on of these days...
