    It fails every time. On every boot/reboot. Passing 'nolapic' or 'noapic'
    doesn't help.

    My kernel is 2.6.0-test9 + swsusp-2.6-2.0-alpha2. Compiled with gcc 3.3.1 from
    RedHat rawhide running on RedHat 9. It's working, but with
    CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC=y
    CONFIG_X86_UP_IOAPIC=y
    problem occurs. I'll try tomorrow compiling only with UP_APIC and not
    UP_IOAPIC.

    I use ACPI. Works quite well. config & full dmesg output attached. [apic not
    in kernel of course]

    It doesn't help.
