Is there something I'm missing with regards to ACPI on the AMD64

I have one piece of dell equipment which insists on disabling ACPI
timer and then everything works. Disabling ACPI totally seems
undesirable under normal circumstances.

I've done multiple installs of 6-STABLE on a 1950 without problems.
One of them was used to create a custom install CD that I'm using today
to install on several others. Haven't had to tweak anything at all
in the BIOS.

I missed the start of this thread. Did you give any more hardware
details?
