Hugh Song Replying to my own message: When I chose "No" to "APIC support on uniprocessors", the above error message disappeared and the machine booted up OK with 2.4.5-ac13. Please refer to the following diff: diff .config.old .config 63,65c63 < CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC=y < # CONFIG_X86_UP_IOAPIC is not set < CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC=y --- > # CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC is not set I think that APIC thing was defined by Intel themselves. They should have implemented it the best. How much penalty do I pay by not choosing "yes" to "APIC support on uniprocessors"? Best regards, G.
