Yesserrie, it works, assuming dont_enable_local_apic gets set to "1" somewhere, somehow. In the case of broken hardware (or a broken emulation of it, like VMware 2.0.4) however, a command line arg (such as the nolapic patch you posted previously) is still needed to disable the local apic in the case where there is no DMI information that can be used to add the broken system to the blacklist.
A combination of your previous nolapic patch and this one you just posted would do the trick indeed.
Thanx much!
