Subject: x86 mac testers needed


Hello,

We need someone with a x86 Mac that didn't boot with 2.6.18rc2 or earlier
without applying patches. We got one report of this, but the original
reporter isn't answering anymore.

Can you please add the attached patches to 2.6.18rc6 and report
if your system boots now?

Patch order is

pci-probe-type1-first
i386-acpi-mcfg-check
acpi-mcfg-check
remove-mcfg-dmi

Thank you,

-Andi

Hi,

is the broken boot related to the boot method, e.g. via EFI or DOS
bootblock?
