193	ASUS M2N-E mobo won't boot when apic is set to /smp ... /apic	Pete		"This may be duplicate: the first time I tried to open a ticket, I was informed, upon submission, that I didn't have high enough status.

I recently install eComStation 2.0 RC4 on a computer with an ASUS M2N-E mobo, with an AMD 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor (5600+). The install was smooth, in vga mode.

Currently I cannot take advantage of the dual core because I cannot get ACPI to work in SMP mode. The system runs reasonably well as long as I do not use the ACPI.PSD switch /APIC. My understanding is that this system, with its nVidia nForce 570 Ultra MCP chipset will operate in SMP mode with APIC turned on only.

When I use this switch the system stops booting after OS2ASPI.DMD is installed. As a further note, if I rem this driver out, the system stops booting when OS2SCSI.DMD is installed. If this driver is rem'd out as well the system stops booting when OS2LVM.DMD is installed. In all cases I can reboot with ctrl-alt-delete.

In addition to devices on the motherboard I have: 
     Adaptec 2940 UW.
     SoundBlaster Live 5.1 (the resident Realtek AC97 is disabled).
     Saphire x1650 (ATI) PCI-E video card.
All drivers came with the install disk.

I have tried the following switches: /AFS /TMR. I have also tried several /DV:xx switches, but, there are many combinations and I have no idea of what to look for in determining the correct number(s) to use.

I have also tried the REMAP directive in the acpi.cfg file. If I understand the LINK_IRQ.doc file, the LINK directive will be of no help because there is no confusion of IRQ between PCI and PIC."	defect	closed	major	Feedback pending	ACPI PSD	3.14	unknown
