For what its worth (and currently that system is offline due to me |
| 21 |
attempting (and failing miserably) at installing Gentoo/FreeBSD, but I |
| 22 |
had Preempt on although I believe I had preempt the big kernel lock off, |
| 23 |
and used pci=noacpi in my kernel line and didn't seem to run into any |
