From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 4.0; T312461; Q312461) Description of problem: I had install recentely kernel-2.4.9-31 and gives me, memory core dumps (crash) on compaq presario 7xx laptop like kernel-2.4.7-10, but with kernel-2.4.9-21 works so prefectely, so I think may be the problem is with kernel configuration of APIC Advanded Progremmer Interrupts controller. since if I compile kernel-2.5.7 with this option the computer doesnt boot, and without it works well. with kernel 2.5.7 works perfectely as well. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Buy one fresh Compaq presario 7xx laptop 2.

I finally discover that the problem appears when APIC is enable in kernel configuration with my Athlon. this problem cames in all vanilla kernels.
