Thanks, that's quite a nice overview.
But something seems strange:
> APIC,LAPIC S > PREM,APIC,LAPIC S
Does those two lines mean, that using ACPI, APIC and local APIC enabled is stable, as long as your kernel is not an SMP kernel? If yes, then I can't confirm this. I run strictly non-SMP kernels and they always crash if APIC (or local APIC?) is enabled.
BTW, I use a very quick test to see if the system is stable, that also can be performed when booting with a "read-only init=/bin/bash" LILO command line (so that no filesystem will need to fsck after a crash): just type hdparm -t /dev/hd<someharddrive> several times.
