Do a grep for nforce and you'll find: [PATCH] fixup for C1 Halt Disconnect problem on nForce2 chipsets =09 Based on information provided by "Allen Martin" : =09 A hang is caused when the CPU generates a very fast CONNECT/HALT cycle sequence. Workaround is to set the SYSTEM_IDLE_TIMEOUT to 80 ns. This allows the state-machine and timer to return to a proper state within 80 ns of the CONNECT and probe appearing together. Since the CPU will not issue another HALT within 80 ns of the initial HALT, the failure condition is avoided. and: [ACPI] workaround for nForce2 BIOS bug: XT-PIC timer in IOAPIC mode=20 "acpi_skip_timer_override" boot parameter dmi_scan for common platforms, may be replaced with PCI-ID in future. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D1203 So it's only missing the patches that ross mentioned, it will still work without em.
