Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: ACPI testing: slow/unsuccessful boot in SMP APIC

++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service   http://www.os2voice.org ++

The debugging of ACPI continues, it's necessary improve SMP APIC mode 
support (/SMP /APIC). This is the nominal mode of work for all modern 
computers (2 or more cores)

The ACPI tracker contains few bug-reports related to slow/failed boot of 
eComStation in SMP APIC. It's difficult to understand the causes by 1-2 
"patients", it's necessary examine 20 patients with similar symptoms.

Use title for your ticket: SMP APIC, %model of notebook%

* Install ACPI 3.14,
* boot without /SMP,  grab ACPI log
* boot /PIC /SMP, grab the log
* boot /APIC /SMP, if system hangs then try debug version of ACPI.PSD make 
photo of screen with digital camera, what do you see on the screen?

How to post tickets to the bug-tracker -- 
http://ecomstation.ru/projects/acpitools/?action=logs

(use LOGS Collector package to collect all logs)

ACPI testing is safe. If you have bootable JFS and system doesn't boot 
anymore - check the volume from installation CD1
