Following your request, I installed Debian 5.0. Had to use noapic again for getting the boot media to work (think it utilizes 2.6.26). The kernel panic is the same for all three systems: "not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work!". The installed system had the same problem (2.6.26 again), then I compiled 2.6.28.8 (with default config). Booting that one with APIC enabled throws the known "MP-BIOS bug" message, but then continues booting - no kernel panic. I will try Knoppix' kernel config and your git code, when I find some spare time. Christopher
