bios bug 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC - no boot on Batterie -freeze when plug out AC -Asus X50V Notebook

Toshiba Satellite A100-LE1
2.6.27-7-generic
ro quiet splash
Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex 8.04

If you aren't on the latest, IE Hardy or Stable, you can add the following lines to your kernel parameters to work around the bug.
noapic acpi=force irqpoll

You can test this by pressing ESC (if needed to see the kernel list) during boot, selecting desired kernel and pressing 'e' to edit the boot params. Select the one that ends with "splash" and append the above line to it. If it works, then edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst and append the params to the appropriate line.
(should look like...)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-21-generic root=UUID=7e4a9fd6-971f-47a5-a09c-99f567eceea9 ro quiet splash noapic acpi=force irqpoll

Next time the kernel is updated it will prompt you as to weather or not you would like to keep YOUR menu.lst or the one that comes with the package. I always choose the Package maintainer's version, and then re add the line.

Just a note that I was having this issue, but it now seems to be fixed in Intrepid Ibex with 2.6.27-7 kernel. (I no longer need to append the kernel params to suppress the message)

 Hy Kzin,

thanx for your mail.
I tryed that:

title Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-21- Akku2
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-21-generic root=UUID=37ec896f-7649-45ed-8f45-c9af2ce1727f ro noapic acpi=force irqpoll
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-21-generic
quiet

but it is the same problen. Doesn't start and freezes if i plug out ac. :-(

This worked:

title Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-21-Akku
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-21-generic root=UUID=37ec896f-7649-45ed-8f45-c9af2ce1727f ro nolapic
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-21-generic
quiet

only prob is that there is just one of two cores running.

I'm going to try the 8.10 Ubuntu to see if this works better

 Thanks.
 Best regards....
