Probably because your P4 does not support x86_64?

We removed support for the 8259 legacy PIC in NOVA-0.2. If the machine does have an IOAPIC, it also needs to provide the ACPI MADT, so OS software can enumerate the IOAPIC. There is little use in supporting hardware as old as your P4. It would not support multiple processors or virtualization anyway. As a rule of thumb, NOVA should work on any multi-core x86 CPU.
