Comment 187 for bug 272247

No, I'm sorry - I was a bit short here.

The main issue is a problem for me (see further up the thread).

I was addressing Morten Minke's problem:
"I do not want to mix bugs here, but I think I have an issue which might be related to this one because of the powerplug in/out trick which also makes the boot continue. Apparently something is triggered by this action."

The main issue has two different workarounds for me:

1. Attach the power cord during boot
2. Add nolapic in kernel options

(acpi=noirq didn't work last time I tried)
