I managed to stabilize my Board, but I don't think the trick was obvious: Disable alle APIC related kernel Options (Local APIC and IO-APIC), disable APIC Mode in the BIOS. Check on reboot if it still talks about the APIC in the boot messages (How? IIRC mine did, which was why I did not think that disabling the APIC helped... Actually somehow it still was activated. Could ACPI be part of this?). If it does try noapic and/or nolapic boot options. If you completely shut off the APIC it runs stable, but 1 of the 3 USB Controllers is not assigned an interrupt. All this with ACPI enabled (ACPI patch 20030730 and kernel 2.6.0-test3). - -- Patrick Dreker GPG KeyID : 0xFCC2F7A7 (Patrick Dreker) Fingerprint: 7A21 FC7F 707A C498 F370 1008 7044 66DA FCC2 F7A7 Key available from keyservers or http://www.dreker.de/pubkey.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/RKdhcERm2vzC96cRAtjAAJ4y5oOm7uhtPqWtaS/S+mnWTr9C5gCdF3hK 2JQZ86psKDmWO74wxrINSRE= =YbYq -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
