Hi...
In general, how does the its code path change when a kernel is passed the 'noapic' option ?
I got a small clue from VMWare forum, check it here http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa;jsessionid=DF0A5409C603ABAFBDB51A8AE991CE83?messageID=92797𖩽 Scroll down and find the reply from ocremel. I hope the explanation is applicable for your situation, at least the essence of the issue is the same. regards, Mulyadi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
