I have been having a hell of a time latly getting a few of my scsi
cards working with linux.  I finally figured out that I need to boot
linux with the noapic option.

This seems to make linux so that it will boot, but not stable!

I am guessing that this does something with the Priority Interupt
Controler.  Does anyone know what the real issue that the noapic
options really deals with, and/or other ways to really fix the
problemr?
