But, why with irqpoll works and without no? well, I summarize.=20 With the default options of the kernel I cannot boot in this device with an= y=20 kernel. Only with 2.6.20 and the irqpoll or the 2.6.16 modified files I can= =20 boot. I have a lot of APIC error on CPU0. Regards and thanks a lot. You have opened a windows with fresh air in this= =20 dammed problem.
