I admit to not following your messages fully so with that in mind...
You appear to be running a motherboard with SMP,
1. Intel MultiProcessor Specification v1.1 Virtual Wire compatibility mode.
However your messages indicate only a single processor kernel in being installed.
2. Linux version 2.4.19-16mdk ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 3.2
(Mandrake Linux 9.0 3.2-1mdk)) #1 Fri Sep 20 18:15:05 CEST 2002
You also have an error for your APIC:
3. WARNING: unexpected IO-APIC, please mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
As for the program 'apm', if you are running a SMP system then you should not have this program. Normally the SMP kernel will disable this when booting.
I have also problems with the SMP kernel and a TB Santa Cruz sound card I'm working on which was running flawless under ML 8.2. Something is quite different in ML 9.0.
Can you post your system hardware.
