Your hardware is apparently not correctly supported by the current kernel versions. I'd strongly suggest you file a bug report with the upstream kernel maintainers [1] because they are the only people that can fix this. They are also the people you should send *all* the output that is visible on your display after booting with 'apic=debug' (and even the info that is visible if you scroll up using shift-PageUp if that is possible). > an with > the noapic option I could boot but without mouse and keyboard support. > I have a M2N4-SLI fromAsus with the latest bios, a 5000+ X2 and 2*1 GiB > of ram <submit@bugs.debian.org> Some suggestions in the mean time: - if you are using a USB keyboard, try a regular PS/2 (AT) keyboard and vice versa - try booting with 'nolapic' and with 'acpi=off' Note that these parameters are not _solutions_, they are only temporary workarounds and they may result in reduced support of your hardware.
