unknown problem report

[Marco Wertejuk]

Hi there,

while reading my logfiles I found this note:

Jun 27 21:06:41 split kernel: An unexpected IO-APIC was found. If this kernel release is less than
Jun 27 21:06:41 split kernel: three months old please report this to linux-smp@vger.kernel.org

I'm running RedHat 9.0 with 2.4.20-18.9smp on a 
Intel P4 with Hyperthreading enabled.

Here is some more output from the logfile:

Actually I could not notice any change in the systems
behaviour when this message appeared :)
