    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...
