the noapic option prevent the kernel from using the IO-APIC of the
motherboard.

IO-APIC (I/O Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller) is an
SMP-capable replacement for older PC-style irq controllers.

it is often found on smp capable motherboard and is rarely found on
uniprocessor motherboard.

some motherboard/bios couples are buggy and this option make them
working with the linux kernel
