Damn, you're right. My machine has a local APIC, but when using it my PCMCIA modem drops down to 1kb/s which really sux. I checked into the kernel config files and found on line 33 of drivers/acpi/Kconfig: depends on IA64 || (X86 && ACPI_HT) I changed that to: depends on IA64 || X86 That's allowed me to remove the APIC stuff as well as ACPI Processor Enumeration for HT - that I'm happy about to seeing I have an AMD! Recompiling now and will let you know how it goes once I've rebooted. Regards, Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
