Re: nforce2 random lockups - still no solution ?

Gabor,

I'm booting the kernel with acpi=off, noapic and nolapic options and
according to syslog it is really disabled. Lockups are very rare (they
come either during
30mins after boot or never) but I cat get them very quickly when using
the framegrabber with ivtv driver. The ivtv driver itself works rock
solid on older PIII system
(btw, that PIII runs SMP kernel !). So I think there are definitely DMA
problems with nforce2 boards under linux.
