[Bug 76989] Re: MP-BIOS bug on Asus Pundit1 AH2 (Kernel panic)

[MichelM]

Also get "kernel panic - not syncing IO-APIC + timer doesn't work".
I had installed Latest UBuntu release (fully updated) on an ASUS M2NPV-VM MicroATX
in november/december. No problem so far. Works perfectly any time.

Then recently (January 10th 2006), I performed the "update process".
Many updates were automatically performed (more than 30 if I remember
right). At the end (after all updates have been loaded and installed), I
was asked for rebooting. Then... BANG!.. Kernel panic - not syncing,
etc...

Now. The system does not boot correctly many times, reporting a kernel
panic error. It boots sometimes after several tries to reboot. I have
been asked to boot the kernel with "noapic" but I have not yet done so.
Without doing so, the system boots sometimes.

When the system boots, it's OK afterwards. I had never had such a
problem _before_ the latest system update.
