Yeah, my BP6 used to get APIC errors a lot back when I was running
2.3.99-pre kernels... admittedly I haven't tried any of the newer ones. I
suspect it is an issue with the BP6 itself, since the 2.2.x kernels have
less than comprehensive SMP support so it probably wasn't being used
properly. Still, it would be kind of nice to have a config option for
'broken SMP implementation' or something.
