Comment 13 for bug 262437

I'm running the amd64 arch, so that kernel won't work here.

I can boot with "noapictimer", and also with "nohz=off highres=off apci=debug debug". I'm attaching the dmesg from the latter boot options. (highres=off did not work by itself, not did nohz=off )

Here are the contents of some other files I've heard discussed in these threads (during the same boot as the dmesg, sorry I couldn't wait to capture these files on a CPU stuck boot):
