Description Michael Mooney 2015-07-02 21:58:38 UTC

install-amd64-minimal-20150625.iso does not support x2apic enabled.  Seems like a minor fix unless x2apic support enabled invalidates install on non-x2apic systems.

This is more painful in a hosted environment like IBM's SoftLayer where BIOS changes to turn x2apic on or off require opening support tickets.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.enable x2apic in bios
2.Attempt to boot install-amd64-minimal-20150625.iso
3.Watch panic occur
Actual Results:  
Kernel panic recommending user disable x2apic in bios

Expected Results:  
worked with x2apic enabled

I'll have to update the kernel config, as this is the first time I've heard about x2apic.

This should be fixed in the next build.

Closing as we've built a few CDs since.
