The unexpected IO-APIC is not suggestive of something failing merely
that the hardware your are using is not on a white-list.

So unless your experiencing any actual problems this message is just
informational.

Also you didn't post much information, you should send the output from
dmesg and any other pertinent information to your problem.

Usually you don't want to load a lesser version my experience is that
software vendors would provide a minimum kernel to run with, so if you
have a later kernel then you should be o.k. The exception to this is if
you are running a certified system which the vendor restricts their
support too (then you have really no choice but to run what is
certified, and forward any problems to that support group.
