udma133 with Award bios update and nforce2
APIC error on CPU0: 02(02) what?? no crash though.

With 3ware I couldn't use hdparm to see what udma settings the drives were set to. Now I can report.
Just now I took the 3ware card out and went back to promise cards(using 4 hd's either method, 2 cd's on mboard amd74xx, onboard sata disabled).

cd's on amd74xx onboard, amd74xx onboard is always solid, 4 ide hd's on two promise cards. not many nmi ticks without the better patch there.
bonnie++ smooth, then hdparm up the settings, udma6, bonnie++ again, saw a few "APIC error on CPU0: 02(02)" but no lockup. not sure if data lost since it was a test. APIC error might be fixed by changing hdparm settings. This second test was with unmasked irq and udma6.
I have to patch to get ioapic edge timer on.
This 11/7/2003 updated award bios does not have a cpu disconnect option but it does eliminate the crashes with no patch and it is no longer impossible to use promise ide udma133 controller cards.
MSI K7N2 Delta MCP2-T mboard
I don't have the promise patch in yet, either, so the APIC error might be from that, or hdparm unmasked irq.
