Jon,

The board Mark has may just be some cheap hardware. It would be great
that RT would work on all boxes, but I'm not sure we want to spend time on
"broken-by-design" hardware while there's bigger fish in the sea to catch.

The current workaround is just use noapic, although I do understand
that's not good enough for Mark. But I'm sure Mark has other hardware
he could use ;-)
