Title:
  [Gigabyte GA-870A-USB3] Unable to boot without workarounds

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  My system won't boot. (As a side effect of using workaround 1
  described below it detects only one CPU core and won't shut down
  completely, I have to hold power button for few seconds to power PC
  off.)

  Tested F5g BIOS but no change.

  WORKAROUND 1: Boot with acpi=off and nolapic.

  WORKAROUND 2: Turn off AMD C1E in the BIOS.

  My configuration:

      Ubuntu 12.04 (upgraded from 11.10)
      Processor AMD FX(tm)-4100 Quad-Core
      RAM 8,00 GB
      Graphic Gigabyte GV-N56GOC-1GI (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560)
      Mainboard Gigabyte GA-870A-USB3
      Disk ATA OCZ-AGILITY3 (SSD)

  According to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingACPI I tried booting it
  with acpi=ht (also with acpi=ht AND nolapic), but not to avail. Quote:
  'If acpi=off works and acpi=ht fails, then the issue is in the ACPI
  table parsing code itself, or perhaps the SMP code. '

  I will also attach files mentioned on the DebuggingACPI wiki page.
