How do you get your system to use IO-APIC style interrupts? I am running linux-2.6.14 and have enabled "Local APIC support on uniprocessors" and "IO-APIC support on uniprocessors" in the kernel options, but /proc/interrupts says that everything is using XT-PIC. I am running an Intel P3-1200 CPU although I forget what chipset the machine has. Is there an option in the BIOS of a typical Intel machine that needs to be enabled in order for this to work?

This has not been a problem in the past as I have been using only SIP and IAX connections. But I have ordered a digium TDM card and will be installing it tomorrow, and I would like to head off any potential problems if possible.

Run "dmesg".  Do you see something like:

Local APIC disabled by BIOS -- you can enable it with "lapic"

If so, there may be something in your bios. Or try appending 'lapic' to your kernel boot parameters in grub / lilo. 'lapi' will try to override the bios setting and use io-apic.

My results have been mixed. On older machines using 'lapic' as a kernel boot parameter produces a message in dmesg that indicates it is overriding bios, but I still only get XT-APIC.

Cheers,
Kevin
