Hi,
I am just testing this patch with latest 2.6.3-rc2-mm1. It works in that sense, that my machine doesn't lock up of APIC issue. (If it locks up - hasn't done yet - then because of something else, I am currently discssing it in another thread...)
But it doesn't work in the sense of cooling my machine down. Though athcool reports disconnect is activated it behaves like it is not, ie, turning disconnect off makes no difference in temperatures. Your old tack patch in conjunction with 2.6.2-rc1 (linus) works like a charm, ie no lock-ups and less temp.
Any idea? I haven't taken out the apic_tack line, but I have added the idle=... line. Should that be a problem? I mean the apic_tack should safely be ignored, isn't it? Since I swap kernels quite often, I am too lazy to edit the boot line every time...
