The first solution will start with acpi. Beware of ACPI, it's buggy with X200!! Pay a visit to: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5534 Richard Mace posted a thread about it a couple of months ago, IIRC. I don't know if you've got a HP nx6125 like Richard, me and some others but you'd better check your ACPI behaviour. If not monitored constantly, it could damage your CPU, since the fan won't start when it's supposed to. Just my 2 cents. Happy hacking! mfv signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Other solution was, to start without acpi. The first solution will start with acpi. Now everything works o.k. However, i do not know, if the system is now more slowly. I could not proove it yet.

This is a known bug (for ATI X200 chipset). Work arounds 1. pass the noapic option (thru grub in /boot/grub/menu.lst) to the kernel (this works for 2.6.11 to 2.6.15+ kernels) I am doing it on my MSI S270 Turion laptop http://starynkevitch.net/Basile/msi_s270_linux.html 2. preferably, boot a recent kernel the 2.6.15 from debian/sid is ok, and passes the disable_timer_pin_1 option to the kernel.

It is something that is being worked on in the kernel, and I believe as of 2.6.15 it is fixed for most systems. If you are running sarge, you could grab a newer kernel from backports.org to try.

Wrong timings on amd64 (Turion)
Hello folks, since I have an AMD64-Turion processor, all timings are twice as fast as they should be. This can be seen at: - clock - downloadrate at apt-get - keyboard (rate and delay) - clock (in KDE) - the icon animation in KDE and some more. I found a workaround in grub, to set at start "clock=tsc", but this does not work. I googled a lot, found other people with the same problem, but no solution. Any hints ?
