It is a problem of, maybe, more than a year. My desktop machine, an Athlon XP with a crappy nVidia-Stuff like motherboard and on-board(!) graphic chip, refused to work with Kernel 2.6.x for a long time. On Monday I bought a new graphic card, an ATI Radeon 9200. While searching in the BIOS for the option to switch between the different graphic chips I found the option to select PCI access-mode. There was APIC an PIC as Options. APIC was enabled and worked well but prevents me from using 2.6.x. Now I’m running 2.6.8.1 and it workes just fine. Framebuffer, ACPI and so on. Here is a screenshot as proof…
