I was trying to install CentOS 6.4 a workstation with an Abit AB9 motherboard on a machine that had been running 5.9
Installation completed, but upon boot, it hangs hard after
acpiphp: ACPI Hot Plug PCI Controller Driver version 0.5 ipmi message handler version 39.2 … then 3 attempts to locate an ipmi interface at different addresses ... Refined TSC clocksource calibration: 2175.999 MHz switching to clocksource TSC
Googling a bit, finds a few references to similar issues on gentoo and at lkml. There was a suggestion to boot with clocksource=acpi_pm but for me that hangs at the same location (minus the switching clock source message)
I have updated the motherboard BIOS to latest.
I had used the the 6.3 net installer disk (and the 6.4 repo) which I noticed had kernel 2.6.32-279, so I retrieved that kernel from the vault and it works.
The 279 and earlier kernels don't display any ipmi messages during boot (in dmesg) The system is not ipmi capable I don't believe, should I be looking there?

Try adding the following kernel parameters and see if the 6.4 kernel boots:
ipmi_si.tryacpi=0 ipmi_si.trydmi=0 ipmi_si.trydefaults=0

Awesome, that did the trick. I do not see those parameters in https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
There is an error in the boot to 2.6.32.-358.23.2
irq 19: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)
I've added the irqpoll parameter and the message goes away.Is there any downside to using it?

Those parameters are relatively new additions according to:

I think it is OK to add it. If your BIOS is not up to date, you may want to update it to see if that gets rid of the irq issue.
