It's necessary add new switch to acpi.cfg: APICasPIC
(Pasha was going to do this at 2008/04/10)
there was a ticket:
- source of the problem: http://bugs.ecomstation.nl/view.php?id=1838
Nvidia has two modes of APIC mode.
Now we recommend to user add /!NOD The purpose of this switch is different but by "accident" it enables needed mode and allows use this PC (and other NVidias).
Why to spend efforts? 1) It's difficult to document why/when to use /!NOD switch. 2) /!NOD - it's a dirty method.

Alan Beagley:
the following is what works for me with my Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe motherboards (nVidia chipset), AMD dual-core CPU and LSILogic U320 SCSI card:
PSD=ACPI.PSD /APIC /SMP /!NOD
The ACPI documentation is confusing, especially (IMO) wrt the /!NOD switch: at one point I was told to remove that switch, which I had found I had always had to use, and with that particular version of ACPI removing the switch solved the problem. When the next version came out, I found by trial and error that I had to restore the switch. A later version of the docs. announced that the switch was no longer needed, but I found that I still needed it.
