Hello,

after a walk through the module "io_apic.c" in 
"/usr/src/linux/arch/x86/kernel/apic" I got the impression that the 
variable "nr_ioapics" is used but isn't initialized !
Could it be the source of boot problems ?

Dangerous coding stile in "static struct resource * __init 
ioapic_setup_resources(int nr_ioapics)" ....

Cheers
