Hi all,

I've been getting spurious hangs in 2.6.18 lately... first I thought it
was hardware but tried different replacement parts and memtest. Nothing
showed any problems.

I finally hooked up a serial console to the box and I see the following.
I include the initial dmesg output to show what's in the machine.

- Nforce4 based Shuttle XPC (PCIe, forcedeth, etc)

[ 0.000000] Nvidia board detected. Ignoring ACPI timer override.

Does your bios have the option to enable the hpet? (Maybe after a bios
update?)

If not:

Try booting with noapic, compile latest git kernel and buut it (w/o noapic).
Above message should now not appear, if I am not mistaken. Otherwise you have
to hack the kernel to not ignoge the timer override..


But I could be mistaken...
