Comment 4 for bug 214814

I get this on an older HP Pavilion a200n running as a server.

It previously had 7.10 on it and worked - as far as I know - flawlessly.

_ERROR_: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 11s! [kacpi_notify:45]
_PROBLEM_: Computer locks up for $x amount of seconds
_TRIED_: Disable acpi by adding 'acpi=off' to '/boot/grub/menu.lst' -- didn't work

I will now attach:

$ lspci -vv > lspci.txt
$ cat /proc/cpuinfo > cpuinfo.txt
$ cat /proc/meminfo > meminfo.txt

How can I apply this patch? Or how can I compile the latest kernel?
