Re: [Xen-devel] Problems booting latest xen pv-ops linux kernel



Hello Konrad,

With the bios option "ACPI APIC" on disabled, the bug comes up with
- xen-3.5 tip && 2.6.31.6
- xen-3.5 #20436 && 2.6.31.6
- xen 3.5 #20365 && 2.6.31.6


- xen 3.5 #20365 && 2.6.18.8-xen boots fine.


Anything else i could try or give additional info about ?

BTW the description of this bios option is:
"Allows you to enable or disable the ACPI support in the APIC, When enabled the 
ACPI APIC table pointer is included in the RSDT pointer list."
