An unexpected IO-APIC was found on A7V333-X

Hi

I have just bought an Asus A7V333-X motherboard and have had a lot of 
trouble trying to get Linux to run on this one!

Redhat 8.0 and the beta Phoebe just refuses to install. I get to after 
fdisk where it wants to format the disc or start install and then it 
beeps three times and freezes, hmmm....

Suse 8.1 can be installed but it has at lot of errors because the 2.4.19 
kernel do not have support for
the VIA vt8235 southbridge... ( a lot of IO and irq errors)

Then I try Mandrake 8.1 Beta 3 as it has a 2.4.21pre4-1mdk kernel and I 
have searched and read some about vt8235 problems. Apparently it should 
have added support going from 2.4.20rc1 -> 2.4.20rc2 ?!

It is better and most things work (though it crashes once in a while 
which I do not know whether it is unsupported vt8235 related or simply 
Mandrake beta unstability), but I get the APIC error below (attached) 
and it notes that I should email you if kernel is new, so here it is.

Please let me know if you need more info. (i tried upgrading to the 
newer -6mdk kernel on cooker but it is the same result as file shows).

Do you know anything about the level of vt8235 support ?.
Is it supposed to be fully supported now (except unknown error as this 
maybe) ?
Is it wrong of me to try and run linux on it yet ?
Will it help to run the 2.5.60 kernel ?

Any help and feedback is REALLY appreciated (wondering whether to drop 
MB or be patient a little longer (but how long?))

Best regards,
