I tried by bashing the kernel, re-enabling it etc. Afterwards you'll get a system that boots sometimes (!) with APIC, sometime does not boot at all. You will get the APIC but not IO-APIC which is what I was looking for to get more IRQs than 16 (silly me :) So not compiling APIC support on those machines is no loss. > Best regards, CU nils faerber -- kernel concepts Tel: +49-271-771091-12 Dreisbachstr. 24 Fax: +49-271-771091-19 D-57250 Netphen D1 : +49-170-2729106 -- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: VM Ware With VMware you can run multiple operating systems on a single machine.
