It's a Quad Pentium III Xeon 550 mhz. With the Debian Sarge 2.6.8 kernel, I got quite some "APIC error on CPU1: 00(40)" with some load. After upgrading to a self-made 2.6.16.19, the messages disappeared. I thought. I just got them back (with heavy load). I have yet to see them with a 2.4.27 kernel, with will check that more later. Anyway, I've searched google, and this seems to indicate bad hardware. But the server is rock solid here, and the previous owner claims he never had any problems with it. If it's indeed bad hardware, could it be a cpu? The RAID-controller? Memory? Or the motherboard? The system is very well cooled, btw. Or could this be a fault with all the SC450NX motherboards? Haven't really read about anyone using these with Linux still (but of course, that could be because noone has any problems with them :) And second, It's always like this: APIC error on CPU1: 00(40) APIC error on CPU1: 40(40) APIC error on CPU1: 40(40) one 00(40) and several 40(40). What does these numbers mean? Hope someone can help me. Best regards, Stian
