Yep, you'll have to check your exact kernel params ( For my 2.6.7-2mdk 
build it's actually acpi=no).  The problem others, including myself, had 
with nforce drivers can be solved by disabling apic, (nolapic noapic) as 
well as acpi.  When I upgraded to 2.6.7-2mdk the lock ups I had with 
apic stopped, and I could turn them back on.
