ga-586dx on linux 2.4

[Richard Weinberger]

hi,
i have a gigabyte 586dx dual pentium-board with 2 pentium-mmx 200mhz cpu's.
when i run the board with linux 2.2.19 it works fine.
but when i run linux 2.4.18 on the board i get a lot apic-errors for cpu0 and 
cpu1.
after some time(<12h) crashes the system.
when i use the "noapic" boot-function i get no apic-errors but the system 
crashes after a few days.

can i use the board only with kernel 2.2?
or knows somebody a solution for my problem.

thanks.

hi,

i have that same board (only with 2 166 no-MMX).
i have had several issues with smp and noapic. as far as i remember,
my last setup was quite stable. although i didn't use it as server.

one problem i remember, usb and adaptec are on the same irq, the apic
tries to "separate" wich never worked. so i had to hardcode the
usb-interrupt.

i would be interested in any solution you might find.

bye,
