Do you have APIC disabled for 7-CURRENT also?
No. I didn't need to. Although the same probe errors also show up
like on 6-STABLE, they do not delay a second the boot process.
I've seen this on Supermicro EM64T in the past on 7-current, but that
went away about 3-4 weeks ago. It really seemed to me that this was
indeed an interrupt related problem.
The STABLE and CURRENT snapshots (200608) I am using were
downloaded 2 weeks ago.
On 7-CURRENT, the scenario is not as critical as on 6-STABLE.
On CURRENT, there is only that bunch of mpt_cam_event notifications,
whenever certain disk operations are performed (tarball extracting, i.e.).
No bce(4) watchdog messages, network interface down nor system unstability.
Even though, the system hangs most of times when it is restarted or
shuted down, and I am forced to use the power off button.
