Thanks for the follow-up, yeah its probably one of the Promise
controllers or some such that is causing the problem, although I
remmeber I used to get the error with only the motherboard, memory and
video card, something tells me that MSI board with (SiS) chipset is
not quite supported in Linux with APIC enabled.
