Nope. I just looked - the only other lines referring to "apic" is this:
Using local APIC timer interrupts.
calibrating APIC timer ...
Er....wait - I don't have noapic in lilo.conf right now. I guess you might be
right - I'll have to try it. :-)
It seems to work just fine (as far as booting up goes) with APIC turned off or
on...
I do have a problem with IRQ's though. Cat /proc/interrupts shows this:
[darklord@darkforce darklord]$ cat /proc/interrupts

as you can see, my network, sound, and video are all shoved onto IRQ5. I can
go into the Dragons' BIOS and change what IRQ all 3 go to, but I've been
unable to find a way to split them up. I know, sometimes a shared IRQ causes
no problems whatsoever. In this case, I believe its the reason all my games
segfault after a short time. I suppose I could disable the onboard sound and
network, add a PCI sound and networking card, but that kinda defeats the
purpose, eh?
Anybody know a way to split these up? The Nvidia card *has* to go into the AGP
slot, and I've not got any card in the slot next to it...
Thanks! :-)
