[lug] noapic option

[George Sexton]

The concensus advice on Linux-Kernel is that you should make sure the BIOS
of your motherboard has been flashed up to the latest and greatest version.

This is on a SMP system isn't it?

Subject: [lug] noapic option


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?
