Ohh! Apic and lapic! I had apic keep my computer from booting (or it died VERY soon after booting, I forget which).
So, yes, those can REALLY mess you up if your computer is sensitive to it. (Note to self – next time someone is having trouble with lockups, ask them about apic and lapic!) Gag – this is going to come from my NEW email address, which is still the same computer, company, and all that, but it’s a different domain now. So it won’t get posted. Oh, well. Time to go fix my email address here on plug… Rusty From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Derek Trotter Sent: Monday, August 12, 2013 9:40 PM To: Main PLUG discussion list Subject: possible solution You might remember over the last 8 or 10 months, I've had problems with this beast locking up at random. Over the weekend I was trying to figure out how to set the console to a higher resolution so I could get more on the screen. I also stumbled across the settings for kernel parameters. In there was spalsh apic and lapic. I looked up what these did and decided to try changing them to noapic and nolapic. Then I rebooted. The console resolution was fixed and for 3 days now, the machine hasn't locked up. Has anyone heard of these apic settings causing problems if they are enabled?
