Ok.. brand new amd64 system with Gentoo 2005.1. Specs: MSI RS482M4 Series, MS-7191 version 1.0 micro atx motherboard.

So trying here. I apologize if some of these are unrelated, but I'm including them just in case. Problem #1. APIC error on CPU0: 04(40) in dmesg output. All I know is the last part is in arch/x86_64/kernel/apic.c I tried disabling APIC (noapictimer and noapic etc, on command line) and also in the kernel itself. Either I'm being dense/blind, or it won't work on my system. It just hangs with a cryptic (to me) message (and unsure how to log it since it hangs the system). The last line is something about losing an interrupt in /dev/hdc. Problem #2: I have a clock drift. No matter what I do, it seems to lose quite some time every minute (within a minute or two, the system clock [date] is 5-10 minutes faster than the hardware clock [hwclock] output). I see another clock drift bug, but I'm not sure if this is the same bug. Apologies if they are the same: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102711 Problem #3: I've seen messages like this: Dec 31 09:20:35 blackbox kernel: warning: many lost ticks. Dec 31 09:20:35 blackbox kernel: Your time source seems to be instable or some driver is hogging interupts Dec 31 09:20:35 blackbox kernel: rip __do_softirq+0x39/0xb0 This _appears_ to have disappeared with a different kernel configuration but I'm not sure what specifically. I'm including this because I'm unsure if it's related. Lastly: I've seen this: Dec 31 20:02:25 blackbox kernel: sh[5989]: segfault at 0000000000000000 rip 00002aaaaad31d50 rsp 00007fffffb187 18 error 4 Dec 31 20:02:27 blackbox kernel: sh[5990]: segfault at 0000000000000000 rip 00002aaaaad31d50 rsp 00007ffffffebb 58 error 4 Dec 31 20:02:29 blackbox kernel: sh[5991]: segfault at 0000000000000000 rip 00002aaaaad31d50 rsp 00007fffff950a f8 error 4 etc. I'm willing to test anything to get this up and running, even re-installing. If I'm missing any info, let me know, I apologize in advance; just let me know and I'll get it right when I get the note.
Ok, I thought something didn't look right. emerge info should have been in additional comments (which I didn't see). Apologies for that. I'm not sure how to fix it or else I would.
your acpi in bios is not compliant with stands! try passing 'noapic pci=noacpi no_timer_check' to your kernel and I am sure 90% of your problems will be answered. Closing as none of this is a bug with gentoo but a bug with hardware unrelated to gentoo.
