Oops, I made a blunder....... APIC, ACPI

Its the ACPI thats the issue, this being the same in the version of 
testing. I had a look around the net a couple of months ago when the 
previous version gave problems, everyone said the ACPI errors should not 
stop the kernel from working, it appeared though to be so (Note 1). In the 
custom kernel its disabled in the config, and it works like a dream. 

Note 1: Its difficult to say though, the custom kernels config is much 
simpler than the debian one and I have found in the past some options can 
have some real wierd effects. 

I have as yet not reported a bug as I like to verify there really is a 
problem and I cannot find anyone else on the net having an ACPI issue on 
Linux with the GA-X79-ud5 mb.
