I have some single-processr Dell Poweredge 2450 servers that I'm trying
to move to 2.4. They have been running 2.2 SMP kernels for a while with
no problem (to take advantage of the supposed benefit of using the
ioapic). 

2.4 SMP kernels seem to work fine, but using a 2.4.1 or 2.4.2 UP kernel
with CONFIG_X86_UP_IOAPIC does not. At some point before the real root
filesystem is mounted, the system begins spewing 

APIC error on CPU0: 08(08)

at a high rate and eventually either locks up, or is killed by the
watchdog nmi (at which point control-alt-delete _works_)

2450's use a serverworks chipset. I don't know what other information
might be useful... 

Here's an excerpt of the SMP 2.4.2 dmesg output, in case it's of any use:
