Description Nalin Dahyabhai 2002-07-18 19:09:20 UTC
Attempting to booth kernel-smp-2.4.18-5.74 on my dual-processor system fails
early in the boot cycle, repeatedly printing this message to the console:
APIC error on CPU0: 08(08)

The system needs to be power-cycled to reboot it.  Booting the same kernel with
"noapic" works around the problem, and as a point of reference, 5.73 did not
exhibit this problem.  The output of 'lspci -v', in case it's hardware-related:
