Quoting Rudolf Marek r.marek@assembler.cz:
you need to supply some routing table to kernel. Any of following:
in DSDT PIR table MP Table.
There is some util to dump this table friom original bios, although in my case MP table was totally b0rked.
I think for a start you may switch off the acpi=off

I have HAVE_PIRQ_TABLE=1 and irq_tables.c. What is the utility for the MP table?
Anyways I tried these kernel options acpi=off irqpoll lpj=720896 and it gets a little further. Now it locks-up on this line:
Checking 'hlt' instruction...
Any ideas?
Interrupts are very obviously broken. In this case, its waiting for an interrupt to verify that the 'hlt' instruction works. You can work around this as well, if you want, but its really going to be in your best interest to figure out whats wrong in the BIOS.
