------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-22 17:35 ------- I have a Sony VAIO FX702 and use the Mandrake 9.1 RC1 and have the same pb. I tried the option noapic and apic=off but it does not seems to work: the command dmesg | grep -i apic gives: Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=linux ro root=305 devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi apic=off acpi=on Local APIC disabled by BIOS -- reenabling. Found and enabled local APIC! Using local APIC timer interrupts. calibrating APIC timer ... PCI: Disabling Via external APIC routing (it's the same with "noapic" option) ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: I use a sony vaio fx 805 laptop (but the problem seems to be present on all the AMD processor sony vaio fx serie laptops) and it is not possible to have a correct shutdown (power off does not work) and a correct reboot (freezing hard drive led after Sony logo) without recompiling the kernel with the option "local apic" switched off I only recompiled the 2.4.21-0.pre4.7mdk kernel but the problem was the same on the 2.4.21-0.pre4.6mdk kernel
