Subject: [Patch] apic: fix apic error on bootup
Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2006 18:05:34 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060622180534.A25240@unix-os.sc.intel.com> (raw)

Appended patch fixes the "APIC error on CPUX: 00(40)" observed during bootup.

>From SDM Vol-3A "Valid Interrupt Vectors" section:
	"When an illegal vector value (0-15) is written to an LVT entry
	and the delivery mode is Fixed, the APIC may signal an illegal
	vector error, with out regard to whether the mask bit is set
	or whether an interrupt is actually seen on input."
