------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-01-19 10:14 -------
This is a uni-processor board with a LAPIC/IOAPIC.
In the past, the distros supported these boards with
special uni-processor kernels that disabled the IOAPIC,
but recently they've cut over to uni-processor kernels
that support LAPIC/IOAPIC, and finally SMP kernels by default.
The issue is likely the IOAPIC, not the LAPIC.
Please verify that "noapic" is a sufficient workaround
rather than "nolapic", and attach the dmesg and /proc/interrupts
from a "noapic" boot if it works.
Skip FC4, FC5 and SL10.1.
Try FC6 or OpenSuSE 10.2, which will install directly to 2.6.18.
(Indeed, FC6 will then net update to 2.6.19 -- and I'm told it
is very close to upstream)
If you can get a recent upstream kernel.org kernel to fail
then go ahead and re-open this bug report. The first thing
I'll be looking for is a dump of the interrupts from Christopher's
W2K boot to show that Windows can handle the IOAPIC on this board.
