Linux-2.6.1-mm4/5 dies booting on an Athlon64
Hi,
mainboard is MSI K8T Neo, Athlon64 3200+.
It does not boot successfully without the "nolapic" option. "noapic" does not make any difference, "nolapic" does. Kernel is compiled on a 32bit Fedora,
K7/Athlon and Hammer/Opteron/Athlon64
are selected under CPU support.

1. "does not boot successfully" is extremely vague. Please supply a boot log or decoded kernel oops.
2. Does this also occur with 2.6.1 or 2.6.2-rc1? If so, what was the last standard 2.6 kernel that worked?
3. Does 2.4.25-pre6 work?
4. Try a minimal .config w/o any non-essential features. (Where non-essential mean anything not needed to boot and get to a login prompt.)
