It's not a problem unless you are experiencing other system problems.
Linux contains a list on known IO APICs and this one is just not
recognized in 2.4.20 (which was released 2002-Nov-28).
There have been many updates to IO APIC recognition since then,
so if you are concerned about it, download & use a newer kernel.
