problems with acpi irq, boot freezes
by tux01 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5K65J)
Hi,I am trying to install Gentoo onto two different laptops (Lenovo and HP), both with Intel CPU and integrated graphics. The problem is that the boot hangs forever as early as at boot runlevel (I use openRC as init). I tried to search for parameters to add at the GRUB kernel boot line and found out that only "acpi=noirq" AND "noapic" work. So I assume that this is a problem with ACPI and interrupts. However 1) this only happens with Gentoo, other distros boot normally, 2) it doesn't really fix the issue and 3) I don't really know if keeping these parameters is harmless for my hardware in the long run.
Here is the ACPI section of my kernel configuration (I have left everything as recommended by Gentoo wiki):
