Hey guys/gals... I have a custom hardware board that seems to be running 
fine with 2.4.17 in uniprocessor IOAPIC mode (we are receiving 
interrupts), but occasionally we hang during boot inside sync_Arb_IDs() 
when it calls apic_wait_icr_idle().  We are using the serverworks HE 
chipset with 3 embedded IOAPICS, and what I see when we hang is that the 
APIC ICR register is 0xcd624 (indeed the BUSY bit is set forever). 
 Unfortunately, I do not know a whole lot about APICs/IOAPICs/etc.  The 
documentation we have (poor at best) says this bit gets set when there 
is a transaction pending.  I'm not sure exactly what this means.  Does 
anyone out there have any idea what might be causing this?  Is it a 
spurious interrupt during boot perhaps?  Thanks VERY MUCH in advance.
