Subject: Idiot-proof APIC?

Hi, I just want to share some of my stupidity and my experience with it with
you.
I recently had the misfortune to try to put two celerons on an SMP-board. The
bios correctly ignored the second cpu, but the linux-kernel(2.4.17). Would
boot almost normally then emit two APIC-errors to the console(error 2 and
6?), and shortly after freeze completely. After one of the celerons was
removed linux was completely stable. Something inside makes me question
whether or not the APIC people have taken idiots into consideration. The
kernel should detect two cpu, detect they are not SMP and then operate using
just one. Not very importent, but correct behavior.
Anyway for specs the board it was an Acorp 6A815EPD. Proberbly the one of the
only SMP i815 mortherboards in the world.
-Allan
