here is the bootup (i just typed it out on another computer, and is not
exactly exact, but is close).
any help would be greatly appreciated.
---------------------
calibrating apic timer ...
..... cpu clock speed is 199.3014 mhz.
..... apic bus clock speed is 66.4336 mhz.
booting processor 0 eip 2000
calibrating delay loop... 199.07 bogomips
ok.
cpu0: intel pentium pro stepping 09
total of 2 processors activated (389.13 bogomips)/
enabling symmetric io mode... ...done.
enabling io-apic irqs
init io_apic irqs
io-apic pin 0, 13, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23 not connected.
..MP-bios bug: 8254 timer not connected to io-apic
