This has been going on for several months now. Every now and then, something promising gets posted on LKML, but so far if anything I've seen an _increase_ in those bug reports. Maybe a fix is floating around and this will be a non-issue RSN. I simply can't tell, since I don't have any IO-APIC hardware to play with. Instead of just telling everybody to turn off APIC, I'd like to point bug reporters to the proper place and tell them what information they should provide so it can get fixed for real. According to MAINTAINERS, Ingo Molnar does Intel APIC, but the problems are with VIA chip sets. So where do I send my users? Any takers? Roger
