Hi,

I was wondering what the difference between APIC and ACPI is.

Thanks,

Is "nolapic" the same as "noapic"?

Thanks,

I guess not, because why to have 2 same commands/parameters/whatever?

Assuming the "l" is the only difference then what does it stand for?

APIC = Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller
NOAPIC NO Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller

but what's the "L"

I couldn't find anything for it. All I know is "nolapic" works and "noapic" doesn't.
