Comment 2 Arjan van de Ven 2001-07-04 08:10:29 UTC 
This message is completely harmless. This machine is probably very recent,
and as a result the "ioapic" component has an ID that is not yet on the
"hey I know these" list. That's not a problem as only very old ioapics needed
special treatment, all modern ones Just Work.
Comment 3 Peter L. Thomas 2001-07-05 13:10:50 UTC 
Excellent!  Guess you can close this one as "not-a-problem" or put it on the 
list of APIC's to add to the next patch build.
