I worked around this problem by assiging a free irq in the BIOS (MB A7N266, not a A7N8, dunno if the A7N8 BIOS gives you this possibility) > Disabling the APIC in the BIOS works around the problem (ACPI still enabled), > but unfortunately Windows won't boot in that case :/ xl0 is rock-solid since with APIC and ACPI enabled YMMV, Arno NB, I still get the interrupt storm on irq7 when attaching a scratch P200 notebook by plip ...
