Asus A7N8X nforce2 Kernel 2.6.7

[gronau]

Hello,

like a lot of other people, I had serious problems with gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.7 and the Asus A7N8X ( nforce2 ). There have been serious problems with the ehci USB-Controller and with alsa audioplayback.

As most people did, I deactivated the APIC support, because of problems (system locks) with the 2.6.5 series. This caused kernel 2.6.7 to use the XT-Timer, which maybe caused the troubles mentioned above. Since 2.6.6/2.6.7 the kernel fully supports APIC on the Asus A7N8X / nforce2. Enabling the APIC support solved all my kernel 2.6.7 issues!!!!!
