[Bug 37382] Re: [dapper]ata timeout freezes system partly

[tenco]

Workaround someone mailed me is to turn apic and acpi off. This is done
with the kernel boot parameters "noapic acpi=off".

I tried to add this line with kopt="noapic acpi=off" to my menu.lst. But
kopt is somehow ignored (btw, it's not mentioned in the grub docs), so
that i have to modify the automagic kernel list everytime i install or
update a kernel package. which is somewhat bad. Is there a better way to
do this?

Nevertheless, i hope this bug will be fixed as soon as possible, since a
notebook without acpi is really bad.
