I've rebooted with noapic and nolapic and the machine seemed to be stable for a while. Then I got:
Mar 24 00:27:08 dahlia kernel: APIC error on CPU1: 00(02) Mar 24 00:27:08 dahlia kernel: APIC error on CPU0: 00(02) Mar 24 00:27:08 dahlia kernel: spurious APIC interrupt on CPU#0, should never happen. Mar 24 00:27:13 dahlia kernel: APIC error on CPU1: 02(08) Mar 24 00:27:13 dahlia kernel: APIC error on CPU0: 02(08) Mar 24 00:28:07 dahlia kernel: APIC error on CPU1: 08(02) Mar 24 00:28:07 dahlia kernel: APIC error on CPU0: 08(02) Mar 24 00:28:07 dahlia kernel: APIC error on CPU0: 02(08) Mar 24 00:28:07 dahlia kernel: APIC error on CPU0: 08(02) Mar 24 00:28:07 dahlia kernel: APIC error on CPU1: 02(0a)
I added nosmp to the lilo append line and rebooted.
noapic, nolapic, and nosmp seems to be stable. I haven't had anything logged in the last 2 hours. Are there known APIC or SMP problems with serverworks LE chipsets or supermicro motherboards and 2.4? What are the steps to troubleshooting an APIC problem?
