..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC

<< < (2/2)

davidnix71:
Here are three links that explain the problem.

http://www.wlug.org.nz/APIC

http://developer.osdl.org/dev/robustmutexes/src/fusyn.hg/Documentation/i386/IO-APIC.txt

http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware-8.0/docs/linux-2.2.19/IO-APIC.txt

The last link has a script workaround.

H_TeXMeX_H:
Unfortunately, this is a laptop and I have no clue which PCI slots are where.

But as the first article you said states ... I don't really need ioapic or apic cuz it's not smp so I can just use the noapic noioapic boot flags for now.

mass:
did you solved the problem now, if you did, how?
i did not completely understand those links at least they did not help much...
what about windows, i can not boot that too, machine restarts itself over and over and everytime it says "Pri Master Hard Disk:S.M.A.R.T. Command Failed"...

Calum:
what about windows? try the windowsbbs.com for help using that particular beast.
