[Bug 653626] Re: Asus N90sc Notebook does not boot without -nolapic or acpi=off bootoption [Marveric RC]

[tankdriver]

I found a much better workaround for me:
bootoption: "pci=noacpi"
This turns off acpi recognition during pci detection.
And now, everything is fine. (2 cpus, frequency scaling and battery/energy management works perfectly)

** Summary changed:

- Asus N90sc Notebook does not boot without -nolapic or acpi=off bootoption [Marveric RC]
+ Asus N90sc Notebook does not boot without pci=noacpi,  nolapic or acpi=off bootoption [Marveric]

** Description changed:

  With Ubuntu 10.04 + Updates everything was OK,
  
  Ubuntu 10.10 Hangs at boot. (White cursor blinking in top left corner)
  
  I tried some Bootoptions:
  
  -acpi=off (which was used for this report) :successful boot, but no CPU Frequency scaling  available. (too noisy)
  -nolapic :successful boot: only one CPU detected. (Frequency scaling works, inefficient)
  
  CPU: Intel Core 2 P8700 at 2.53GHz
  
  Is it possible to run a live-USBSitck with the Upstream Kernel? (I don't
  want to install stuff on my productive Machine without testing first)
  
+ NEW WORKAROUND FOUND:
+  - pci=noacpi (works without any side effects)
