Hi, This message is displayed as I am booting linux 2.4.19 on an SiS 648 motherboard: IO APIC #2...... .... register #00: 02000000 ....... : physical APIC id: 02 .... register #01: 00178014 ....... : max redirection entries: 0017 ....... : PRQ implemented: 1 ....... : IO APIC version: 0014 WARNING: unexpected IO-APIC, please mail to linux-smp@vger.kernel.org This is a single processor system that I just put together and if I turn on APIC Mode in the Award BIOS then no PCI devices and the on motherboard network controller do not work. The motherboard is a AOpen AX45-8XN with onboard sound and networking. The CPU is an Intel 2.4GHZ Pentium 4. If I turn off the APIC Mode in the BIOS I can boot and get all devices to work and of course the above message goes away but I don't now what other performance or problems it causes to have the APIC mode turned off? I have attached two boot logs, the first with APIC Mode on and the second without it on. Is there anything I can do to get APIC mode turned on and devices working? Thanks, Tim Lee
