[Bug 58752] Re: System hangs during boot in SMP mode

[Giblet5]

** Description changed:

  The symptom is that the boot process hangs and the keyboard is frozen.
  
- HW: MSI 945g NEO/Platinum M/B
+ HW: MSI 945p NEO/Platinum M/B
      Intel Pentium D 920 (EMT64, dual core, C1E bios supported)
-     2 * 1024MB DDR533
+     2 * 1024MB DDR667
  
  On installing 6.0.6-1 (standard 386 kernel) everything works very well (for 386-UP).
  I then use synaptic to download/install the 2.6.15-26-686 SMP+UP kernel.
  
  It boots OK but hangs the instant the boot has completed.
  
  BUT if, in the BIOS, I turn OFF APIC, it boots fine. I have tried both APIC on with
  mps level 1.1 and 1.4, but both hang.
  
  This is very similar to the problem reported by 'Zoltan' in 9357. He
  never opened a bug report - he bought a new motherboard and CPU!
  
  Thanks in advance,
  Giblet5
