Yes, I am just trying your new patch, and it works! Furthermore it seems to have less ipact on system performance than the tack one, as now hdparm reports the same figures as without using APIC. Well done! Have you read the post from Mathieu about his finding of APIC and 8254 timer not being sync, which causes lock-ups? Maybe there should be the correct way of fixing it. Furthermore I saw this in latest ACPI update: [ACPI] nforce2 timer lockup from Maciej W. Rozycki Is this the fix or something else?
