Hello,

I send you an email because I have the following message
during my reboot on a redhat7.2 server:


WARNING: unexpected IO-APIC, please mail
Dec 17 16:12:08 L1_CRUNCH03 kernel:           to linux-smp@vger.kernel.org


Can you tell me the meaning of this message and is there something to do ?

Not sure why it says to contact you but here goes.  Do you know what is
causing this and how I can correct it?

Re: Question

[Earle Nietzel]

This message merely hints that it is possible that the EBDA or XBDA 
(Extended Bios Data Area) can be written to which just so happens to be 
where the MP table is located during boot. Once your system is booted then 
the EBDA is no longer available and the MP table has been read by the OS.

So I assume if you boot fine then all is good!!! Also I am told that if you 
use a compressed kernel then this should never be a problem.
