I just installed the Dapper Beta, and I did not need to add any extra boot options, so this can be closed. I don't know how it happened, but I am very pleased.

Sorry for not following up earlier. I believe this was bug 35795, which was fixed in linux-source-2.6.15 2.6.15-20.30:

  * 35795: Keeps the kernel from panicing when it notices that an IOAPIC is
    reported, but not really present. Patch applied, taken from upstream
    2.6.16.

I'm not sure that I can close this support request, but I think you should be able to using the links at the top left of the page.

Incidentally, to attach a file in Malone (as opposed to this support tracker), file the bug and then use the "Add Attachment" link.

Sorry, I can't see how to close this.

At least when i submitted this, and maybe now too, the difference between bug and support request was not clear, and I just tried to do what Launchpad seemed to want.
