Hmm. Can you verify that the system boots fine if you get rid of acpi_skip_timer_override as per the hint from Prakash Punnoor?
That is, in the file arch/x86_64/kernel/io_apic.c, find the place where it does something like
... if (nvidia_hpet_detected == 0) { acpi_skip_timer_override = 1; printk(KERN_INFO "Nvidia board " "detected. Ignoring ACPI " "timer override.\n"); } ...
and just comment that whole thing out (or at least the assignment that sets the "acpi_skip_timer_override" variable to 1).
Andi? You were talking about how the 64-bit machines don't have some of the cruft that the old PC's have.. It looks like they are accumulating _more_ cruft than regular x86 ever had...
