I went back and found the messages corresponding to our previous discussions: http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/linux/linux-kernel/2003-23/1675.html Looks like again I've confused the local APIC with the IO-APIC regarding that blacklist entry. However, I thought 440BX had a IO-APIC built-in to the southbridge. Again, that was proved to be wrong by examining the integrator's guide: ftp://download.intel.com/design/chipsets/designex/29063401.pdf page 99 of the PDF says: "An I/O APIC is required for a DP system and optional for a UP system." So it looks like I've never had an I/O-APIC on this board at all, only a local APIC, and this thread is thus a waste of time. :) In any case, thanks for leading me to the right answer! --=20 Ryan Underwood, --+QahgC5+KEYLbs62 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/1yXEIonHnh+67jkRAhxeAJ9npBG8RKnD+YJir1Vovoq3kvgXhgCbBQ0b v9ySVu+Sd24TtYq93/dYqzw= =Orod -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --+QahgC5+KEYLbs62-- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
