I have APICs enabled in both kernel and bios, but IO-APICs disabled. 2.5.60 seems to work for me. The only thing I'd like to get rid off, are those Interrupt errors in /proc/interrupts (maybe they are harmless anyway):
CPU0 0: 941032 XT-PIC timer 1: 1927 XT-PIC i8042 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 5: 0 XT-PIC VIA8233 8: 4 XT-PIC rtc 10: 14946 XT-PIC ide2, eth0 12: 29425 XT-PIC i8042 14: 7525 XT-PIC ide0 15: 36 XT-PIC ide1 NMI: 0 LOC: 940979 ERR: 914
They won't go away with noapic, too.
With IO-APICs the ERR count would stay at 0. (but then most onboard devices wouldn't work) That's why i asked for that APIC patch in my previous mail.
