"Latitude with broken BIOS" ?

Hi,

I was hoping to use HT on my new Latitude C640 (P4 @ 1.8Ghz) but at boot
both 2.4.21-pre3 and 2.5.59 (obviously with a SMP kernel) tell me

"Dell Latitude with broken BIOS detected. Refusing to enable the local APIC."

Is this anything that can be played with ? I google'd a bit but was unable to
turn up anything interesting. I flashed BIOS A05 (which is the latest on Dell
support sites), but I still get the above kernel message.

Thanks in advance for any insight,
