Hello list, I have an amd64 cpu on a K8NS Ultra939 board with the nForce3 Ultra chipset running 5.3-RELEASE. I heard that it wouldn't work with ACPI enabled unless I disabled I/O APIC in the bios and as my bios doesn't give me such freedom I used to disable ACPI. Yesterday I tried to compile the kernel with the attached config file and it worked partially with ACPI enabled. The machine didn't hang as it use to do, it responded to ping, and I could login using SSH, but nothing apart from the kernel logs where printed on the screen after the file system tests, the keyboard worked as I could login, and add someone to the sudoers list so that I could su to root from my ssh shell. I even rebuilt kernel remotely and their was no stability problem. There use to be some strange kernel logs though about processes with negative times or something like that. I have attached the output of dmesg right after a successfull but and during the rebuilt of kernel note that the kernel complains about a lot of processes having negative runtimes. Is this expected/known? Can someone with nForce3 Ultra chipset use the siavosh.kernelconfig file and see if he/she gets similar results?
