To confirm you commit: e9e2cdb412412326c4827fc78ba27f410d837e6e "[PATCH] clockevents: i386 drivers" is the problem commit you are referring to.

That's "msi: mask the msix vector before we unmap it" and No, I was wrong. I added the patches again, which I reverted and it still boots.

That's "msi: mask the msix vector before we unmap it" and A) it looks *really* obviously correct and B) it should only have an effect if a driver using MSI-X releases an IRQ. What testing did you do to pick out that change?

ACPI Regression on Dell E1501
Hi, Commit e9e2cdb412412326c4827fc78ba27f410d837e6e breaks boot on a Dell E1501 unless 'acpi=off' is specified (also tried nolapic and nohpet but it made no substantive difference). This laptop is an 'AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-50' CPU, but its booting 32 bit SMP (make defconfig). No kernel built after this commit works for this platform. There is no crash output, it just wedges after 'NET: Registered protocol family 2'.
