Just to try to help, as suggested by Karol Kasimor, disabling the APIC make the code pass this section. The APIC is now really unconditionnaly enabled (regardless of BIOS settings) due to this change in 2.5.74... So this is an interaction between APIC and ACPI... I still think it should not crash at least... BTW : I still cannot boot as the radeon framebuffer driver make things unreable. I will stcik with 2.4 for a while... -- eric
