Agreed. This has been my favourite hypothesis all along. But isn't that what jhb is saying? > Your SMAP table shows everything correctly.

I think you're just having problems 1. expressing yourself, and 2. understanding what I'm saying. I have no preconceived notions. All I can see here is an antagonistic attitude on your part. What's the problem? You'll recall from my first message that I asked for suggestions about how to approach the issue. jhb provided some; you haven't so far. From what you've written, it's unclear whether you disagree with jhb or not. If you do, why? If you don't, what's your point here? >>> It would be interesting to see the contents of your MADT to see if >>> it's trying to use a 64-bit PA for your APIC. >> >> Any suggestions about how to do so? > > man acpidump How do you run that on a system that won't boot?
