Thought I would notify you per the recommendation. Message was: IO APIC #3...... .... register #00: 03000000 ....... : physical APIC id: 03 .... register #01: 00178020 ....... : max redirection entries: 0017 ....... : PRQ implemented: 1 ....... : IO APIC version: 0020 .... register #02: 00178020 ....... : arbitration: 00 An unexpected IO-APIC was found. If this kernel release is less than three months old please report this to linux-smp@vger.kernel.org The box is a Dell PowerEdge 700, using the onboard Ethernet, originally configured 7/04. Previous kernel: kernel-smp-2.4.20-8.i386.rpm New kernel: kernel-smp-2.4.20-43.9.legacy.i686.rpm I pulled it off http://download.fedoralegacy.org/redhat/9/updates/i386/ We had to build a e1000 generic driver on the original install, as well as for this kernel, if that makes any difference.
