Comment 37 for bug 89746

The computer boots with noapic, but the bcm43xx chipset does not show up and irq7 (usb) becomes disabled... On a side note, the other options such as "acpi=noirq," etc which have been previously mentioned didn't work either. I hope someone can solve this, and if anyone would like me to test something I would be more than willing to. The final release is just 1 month away and it would be nice if this problem could be fixed... I would hate to have to give up and go back to xp,
Jack
