2.6.15 from dapper doesn't boot with apic enabled. FWIW, I know that the patch works around buggy hardware, and that I need a new DSDT;
that's what I originally reported. My intention was to convey the fact that most of the hardware in the laptop does not work without
ACPI, and in order for ACPI to work, I have to enable apic. But in order get the laptop to boot with apic enabled, I have to apply the
patch attached to this report. I don't claim ownership of the patch, nor do I understand completely what it does; I just grabbed it from
the ubuntu wiki.
