Arjan is this a known issue related to the kernel?
Most implementations using the 440GX chipset require the "apic" option to function correctly. When this is the case, providing DMI information to Red Hat as documented below[1] may allow us to automate that setting in the future. On some systems, the "apic" boot flag may not work. Unfortunately, because of Intel Proprietary information, these platforms are not supported at this time.
