So it's probably a commit to the mainline tree which was picked by 2.6.= 35 maintainer to the stable tree (probably it was CC'ed) cause this. Does passing nolapic or acpi=3Doff cures the issue? Maybe rebooting imm= ediately while booting is a sign of another problem, I don't know. --- Ozan =C3=87a=C4=9Flayan TUBITAK/UEKAE - Pardus Linux http://www.pardus.org.tr/eng
