Subject: Re: APIC problem report

Thanks for the quick replay, Ingo!

Following your request, I installed Debian 5.0. Had to use noapic again 
for getting the boot media to work (think it utilizes 2.6.26).

The kernel panic is the same for all three systems: "not syncing: 
IO-APIC + timer doesn't work!".

The installed system had the same problem (2.6.26 again), then I 
compiled 2.6.28.8 (with default config). Booting that one with APIC 
enabled throws the known "MP-BIOS bug" message, but then continues 
booting - no kernel panic.

I will try Knoppix' kernel config and your git code, when I find some 
spare time.
