-My machine
(kernel 2.4.21) hung
after printing this. (
Athlon 2000 XP
on an AD77 motherboard (KT400)). It is caused by [APIC] support in the kernel (not to be confused with "ACPI"). Booting with the "noapic" kernel flag didn
't fix it (although it made
the machine go into an infinite loop printing an error about apic on cpu ). However, booting with "no__l__apic" kernel flag does work though
. Recompiling the kernel without APIC support resolves this. Note that the same motherboards will need the "nolapic" kernel flag to boot Knoppix - otherwise the screen just turns black and the pc hangs.
