IO-APIC you mean?

Yes.

what system have you got there?

Abit KX7-333 (VIA Apollo KT266/A/333).

I also tried disabling ACPI completely, and the system booted without the quirk applied. I was of the suspicion that if I could get IO-APIC enabled, then the system would be unable to boot, but this is only guesswork based on the info in the Gentoo bug report.

Perhaps we can discount my system, but Aiko Barz's case from the Gentoo bug should definitely be considered: Without ACPI, the quirk is not needed. With ACPI, the quirk is needed.
