Subject: APIC problem report

Hi,

I found a problem with APIC on a desktop PC equipped with Asus' M2N, 
running the manufacturer's AMI BIOS - version 0803.

I've tried booting Knoppix 5.3.1 (Kernel 2.6.24.4) and GParted live 
(Debian's 2.6.26-13). Both will only boot if noapic parameter is used.
Otherwise I get "MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC" 
resulting in a kernel panic.

apic=debug gives "ACPI: Core revision 20080321", "Version 80050010" 
(twice), "ID: 0", "LVT0: 700", "LVT1:400" and "ESR value before enabling 
vector: 0x00000004  after: 0x00000000".

Hope it's of some use (and the best place to report it)

Christopher
