Hi Dave,

booting without lapic allowed it to boot but now I get
...
Local APIC disabled by BIOS -- you can enable it with "lapic"
...
Local APIC not detected. Using dummy APIC emulation.
which means more processor overhead - right?

also cpuspeed doesn't work anymore - I don't have a cpufreq dir

I don't get the following messages with kernel 2798
powernow: PowerNOW! Technology present. Can scale: frequency and voltage.

Hz.
