It is not an SMP machine for sure, the mainboard is Gigabyte 7VXH something with network interface and sound card. The processor is AMD Athlon 1500+
it seems that many people get that warning io-apic but I cannot understand why somehow the kernel is getting confused with SMP flags. Do you think that the dual bios feature of the mainboard is responsible but this is common to all gigabyte ones ... I might have to compile the kernel on my own then or use 2.5..... ? > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Panagiotis Melas wrote: > > |>-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > |>Hash: SHA1 > |> > |>Panagiotis Melas wrote: > |> > |>| Hello, > |>| > |>| I've posted the same problem before few weeks ago but none of the > | > |It is not easy to describe, it is very similar like doing apm -s > (suspend) > |every 10 min on a desktop i.e. X-windows disapear I guess it goes into > text > |mode and then goes completely blank and then it comes up.
