RE: <unexpected IO-APIC>

[<benkuo@earthlink.net>]

Sorry for dropping in on this thread. Eric Paul sent in an issue I originated.
We are running a Intel E7500 Chipset and Intel
Xeon Processor, and are now running successfully on 2.4.19 after his queries
here. Unfortunately, we have some software dependencies which are depedent on
and only qualified against 2.4.9, and which are extremely non-trivial to get
supported on 2.4.19.

I'm wondering how I might understand exactly what was required to support the
E7500 on 2.4.19, if it's possible to patch 2.4.9 to a similar level of support
for this chipset? Also, if 2.4.18 might also have this support, or if there
are patches to 2.4.18 for this?

Thanks for any help,

Ben Kuo

2.4.19 might. Its not a problem eithr way on the apic front
