Thanks guys, that of course seems to do it for me. Sorry I missed it in
the archives. I went ahead and just removed those options (APIC, ACPI)
from my .config file and recompiled 2.4.22-gentoo-r7, and all seems
well. I suppose I could've tried those kernel options first too, but I
didn't have them before I started the recompile.
Thanks again.
