That single change has definitely been fingered as being the problem by a few people. And removing the one line (if you have an x86-64 system you have to remove it in the x86-64 version of the file too) should undo the patch that seems to have caused the problem in the first place. Anyway, my one-liner patch won't have applied at all if you had applied Andrew's patch, so the first thing to do is to double-check that it actually got applied. I'm still hoping. But assuming it did, can you enable APIC debugging in include/asm-i386/apic.h, and send the resulting honking huge dmesg to me and the other suspects in this on-going saga? Preferably both from a plain 2.6.7 kernel (well, "plain" except for the DEBUG enable) and from the broken kernel..
