On the install of debian, install cd booted OK but on reboot on the finish of the install system failed to start. Console locking up not long after the drive subsystem is initailised. A mass of error messages asociated with APIC being printed. A search on the net showed this was a known issue as the Linux kernel does not currently support APCI 5.0 found on current MB's, which should _NOT_ have prevented the kernel starting. An attempt to turn off APCI support on the boot command line did not suceed.
Isn't ACPI supplanted by UEFI on contemporary boards?
