And there's the key to working with development kernels. I haven't tried APIC yet as it slowed down my modem the last time I did try. I might give it a try though as I know my PC does have an APIC available. Thanks for the tip!
Last time I tried APIC my laptop froze every time I changed the screen brightness (even before init would start, if i had changed it then).
Lucky I'm using NAT i suppose
