Someone suggested > problem with the APIC but its enabled in 2.4... That's how it works for me on the same machine: if APIC and IO-APIC is compiled in, the kernel hangs at the place you mentioned. noapic doesn't help, acpi=off does, as well as not compiling APIC in at all. According to my experience, APIC should not work under 2.4.x and 2.5.x where x < 74, since it is magically disabled by BIOS and the kernel doesn't know anything about it. Do you have any evidence that APIC works at all on these kernels?
