--- Comment #99 from Yuhong Bao <[email protected]> 2009-11-11 04:54:37 --- "It is true that usually when the IO-APIC is disabled by the BIOS the lapic is also disabled too" For why, it is because Windows's non-IO-APIC (8259) HALs did not even try to use the local APIC. From http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/archive/io-apic.mspx (a page written when MS was beginning to encourage mobo makers to enable the IO-APIC on uniprocessors): "However, without an I/O APIC in the system, the local APICs are useless [to Windows]. In such a situation, Windows 2000 has to revert to using the 8259 PIC." -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
