Hi, APIC is a feature, a new one to support better IRQ handling on the mainboard. Normally its a Chip included in the chipset. Sadly some/most BIOS vendors do not support APIC, so sometimes when Linux uses APIC it ends in strange/unstable behavior.
Just try to boot your kernel with the option "noapic", if it helps you are lucky. > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /proc/interrupts > CPU0 > 0: 3372720 IO-APIC-edge timer > 1: 11233 IO-APIC-edge i8042 > 8: 0 IO-APIC-edge rtc > 9: 5574 IO-APIC-level acpi > 11: 3 IO-APIC-level ohci1394 > 12: 924022 IO-APIC-edge i8042 > 14: 120000 IO-APIC-edge ide0 > 50: 537756 IO-APIC-level ndiswrapper > 209: 4 IO-APIC-level ehci_hcd:usb1 > 217: 175146 IO-APIC-level ohci_hcd:usb2 > 225: 46850 IO-APIC-level libata > 233: 149 IO-APIC-level HDA Intel > NMI: 1356 > LOC: 3280198 > ERR: 0 > MIS: 0 > > Does this mean that my board has APIC? Should I still try noapic? in the first cols, are number beyond 15, so APIC is enabled. -- Florian Reitmeir -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
