 Thanks.  The MP table looks broken:

Bus #4 is ISA
I/O APIC #32 Version 32 at 0xFEC00000.
Int: type 3, pol 1, trig 1, bus 4, IRQ 00, APIC ID 2, APIC INT 00

etc. (notice the different I/O APIC IDs reported), so any changes to our
code are not at fault.  I suggest you ask your vendor to fix it up (did
they test it at all? -- it has no chance to work) or stick to ACPI (I can
see it has been automatically disabled for some reason).

 Anyway, the piece of I/O APIC code in question should not poke at the
local APIC, so I'll prepare a fix to make it check for the APIC ID being
-1.

 It might be useful indeed.
