Passing nooapic to the kernel at boot lets the machine boot.
There are no BIOS updates available for the box.
Is this something I should put into bugzilla or is simply expected on some
machines?
FYI:
[root@tigger2 pts0 ~]# uname -r

The box is a Lenovo MTM7387-24U

I am not sure what other info would be useful, so please ask if someone
feels
I should provide something else.
