Listmates,

The second issue encountered on a fresh 11.0 install on the Toshiba P205D laptop looks like a combination error between ACPI AND APIC preventing a switch to high resolution mode on both CPU cores on the AMD Turion X2 processor. All ACPI and APIC values are at their default values as "splash=silent vga=0x317 showopts" are the only kernel parameters passed at boot. The machine runs fairly well, but seems sluggish. Like the last post, take a look if you can and advise me on whether this may be avoided by manipulating the apic and nolapic values or whether this one looks like another bug to author:

Similar stuff seen in this thread: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2007-08/msg00984.html

Try the 'nolapic_timer' option. (boot parameter).

John, I gave nolapic_timer a try and the differences were minimal. It made no difference to the inability to switch into high res on CPU0 and CPU1. Any other changes made were just numerically slight, mostly in APCI timings, etc.. Any other thoughts? -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
