Bug#571761: linux-image-2.6.32-2-686: 2.6.32 required noapic on Acer Travelmate 430 where earlier kernels did not



Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-8
Severity: important


With kernels up to 2.6.26 this ancient machine did not require any special kernel boot options, but with 2.6.32 
I need to add noapic to the kernel command in grub.

If I do not add noapic the kernel gets as far as the pcmcia socket and gets through that completely, and then hangs
competely - nothing works.

Looking in the 2.6.26 kernel dmesg just after the initialisation of the pcmcia socket there were messages about 
ACPI derived interrupts.  So I thought trying noapic was worth trying noapic, and now 2.6.32 boots normally.

This suggests that something has changed in the APIC handling for the old chip in the 430, for the worse. Of course
now manual intervention is required to make this machine boot.
