Of course;-)

That's what I'm almost doing since I have this mobo. 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.
