Hi.  We have a brand new dual Xeon machine running RedHat 8.0 and  
2.4.18-14smp of the kernel.  When we boot, a message appears in the log to 
E_mail you:

Mar 19 11:17:23 trio kernel: ENABLING IO-APIC IRQs

Mar 19 11:17:23 trio kernel:

I haven't a clue what it is complaining about, insofar as I can tell, 
everything works fine.


Many thanks and sorry to bother you,



Jeff
