The older ones were workarounds, not needed anymore, thus obsolete. The only problem is the apic timer thing. It just gets activated if the correct BIOS Version is found (see the dmi scan thingie). So I just pass acpi_skip_timer_override to the kernel to be sure. |>Add PCI quirk to disable Halt Disconnect and Stop Grant Disconnect |>(based on athcool program by Osamu Kayasono). | | | Is this always safe - if not why does the BIOS not do it. It is safe but makes your CPU hotter. Thus the real fix just changes the disconnect intervall (or alike). Look into arch/i386/pci/fixup.h and search for nforce2.
