ok - it is compiled in the kernel, but is not apparently running. investifation says this is unsurprising as it's a PIII Coppermine, and apparently Intel removed the local APIC. flags in /proc/cpuinfo does not mention "apic" so that's the end of the APIC story i guess. so - how do i get these things on different irqs?? is it possible? if not - how oh how can i stop my sound output having silences?? j
