I have "not-G" A315 with 2200u and can boot with acpi=noirq. With lots of warnings, but works, no slowdown. Thought this option does same with irqs as acpi=off or pci=noacpi (using MPTable instead of ACPI table).
I'm still on factory 1.03 BIOS, and with "noapic" parameter everything looks OK on Ubuntu 18.10. Also have idle=halt param to avoid "random soft lockup bug" https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196683 I suspect, updating BIOS may bring more problems. So even new AGESA (which may fix lockup bug) is no worth reason for me to update. ** Bug watch added: Linux Kernel Bug Tracker #196683 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196683 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-firmware in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1776563 Title: Acer Aspire A315 IOAPIC failure on Ubuntu 18.04, kernel hangs, can't load, kernel freeze (AMD Ryzen 5/Radeon/Raven) / AMDGPU Hybrid crash Status in amd: Fix Released Status in Linux: Incomplete Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: CPU: Ryzen 5 2500U VGA: Radeon 535 Notebook: Acer Aspire A315 This is a brand new notebook on the market with Ryzen 5/Radeon.

Soft lockup Using pci=noacpi kernel parameter kernel loads without any problem but my notebook produces more heat than on Win10. If I know right Acer notebooks need ACPI to the correct power management. The same thing happens on mainline 4.17,4.18rc1-2. BIOS upgrade to the latest version: 1.08 hasn't helped This problem has been reported upstream: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200087 The latest correctly working kernel was 4.13.* but the heat problem was present with this too.
