Chuck, I know that you have been successful with using OS2APIC.PSD. I am able to get ACPI 3.0.7 working for both CPU cores, as well as APM.ADD.
What version(s) of ACPI did you test, and aside from the "hang during boot" issue I see with 3.0.8, what were your results? I am seeing random deadlock conditions, but I can't tell whether it's an ACPI issue, uniaud, GenMAC, or something triggered by Flash (using my patched 9.0.115 plugin).
Well, I'm not Chuck... ;-) But I'll butt in a bit...
First, a question: What is APIC and why should I care?See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Programmable_Interrupt_Controller for some specifics, but in general, APIC allows for the use of high IRQs and theoretically devices which might otherwise share lower IRQs get their own separate ones. This alleviates some of the CPU overhead caused by having to referee between shared IRQs.
I tried using /APIC on my T60 and could never get past the boot-timeInteresting. 3.0.7 works as I described; 3.0.8 hangs.
freeze.
Just for the record in this list, my ACPI settings and some 'Rem Notes'This is helpful; thanks. What CPU do you have in the T60?
about what I tried and why are:

I can run just about every function at this point with UniAud 1.9.2. This obviously excludes those functions that require newer Flash, PDF,:-)
etc., levels that are just not available for eCS.
I'm open to adjustments if there is a benefit. But, I hate to mess
with success.
OTOH, UniAud 1.9.3, including all of the special test files PaulYes, indeed it does.
provided, caused various problems. I sent the debug files to Paul and
it sounds like he is doing some major surgery for the device type that
we have in the T60/T61.
And, since you brought it up, my 'Patched' reports:I patched the 7.0 r14 to report itself as 9.0.115. You may download my patched version from the eCS Technical file repository: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/eCS-Technical/files/
Shockwave Flash 9.0 r14
What/where did you get the more recent update?
Can you play video at:Nope. This one actually does utilize some of the newer functions in versions of Flash later than 7 (Steve Wendt tells me that Adobe introduced some major new functionality in 9.0 r115, in particular). In fact, the Masters site actually detects that my player is out of date, and I'm 99.9% sure I patched every version reporting string in the blasted dll...
http://www.masters.org/en_US/index.htmlthat specifically states:
"Flash version 9.0.115 is required for the Augusta Live
video service."
I'd really like to see what's there, but it either demands an update or
just does not play.
