The full page currently features three variants:
noapic
noacpi
noapci
noacpi and noapic both seem to help in quite similar situations sometimes, but the fact that the post mentions a third version (which doesn't exist) makes me wonder if they were both actually meant to be on that page. |

There is some pretty serious confusion between APIC and ACPI in the proposed FAQ entry, which needs to be cleared up. _________________ For every higher wall, there is a taller ladder |

According to Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt:
Quote: |
noapic [SMP,APIC] Tells the kernel not to make use of any
APIC that may be present on the system.

There does not appear to be a valid pci=noapic variant listed in that document. I was having the same problem with the eth0 timeouts..first I tried the all the invalid variants listed in the faq entry to no avail. Just passing "noapic" to the kernel in /boot/grub/grub.conf fixed the problems.
Here is the relevant section in my conf file:
Code: |
kernel /boot/bzImage-2.4.20-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/hda3 mem=nopentium noapic
