Bug Description
I tried to install breezy on a new Acer TravelMate 3002WTMi, and the installation cd does not boot (kernel panics)
without the noapic option. Apparently this is because of a bug in the bios (see
https:/
kernel patch fixes the boot problem by simply continuing (instead of panicing) if changing an APIC id fails.
After fixing this, irq routing works, and most of the devices work. Unfortunately, the DSDT shipped on the laptop is
buggy, so a new one has to be downloaded from acpi.sf.net to get all devices working. But at least with the fix above,
the laptop will boot.
