My question is (at last): why did the installer decide it necessary to include "noapic acpi=off"? Previous installs of CentOS on other hardware have not done that.

I don't believe that anaconda would do that on its own.

It would however, append any kernel options that you used when you booted the installation disk so that's the likely place where it came from.

Ah, you're right - thanks! I used a pxe boot server to install, and had left those options in the config file from tests with a previous box.

Mystery solved :-)
