Or use them properly? We've got a Dell Precision Workstation that wouldn't boot Linux - I got a Kernel Panic, something about a bug in apic.c. The first solution was to disable APIC in the system BIOS but then the machine wouldn't boot Win2K (dual boot). So I added [append = "disableapic"] to the lilo.conf, ran lilo, re-enabled APIC in the BIOS and now both Win2K and Linux (SuSE 7.2 / Kernel 2.4.4) are happy. Perhaps you could try one of these? -- Simon Oliver _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
