but /var/log/messages will overflow with APIC errors and your machine will
eventually (in my exp) die as it stops answering the interrupt requests so
you should stick to append="noapic" in your lilo.conf or whatever. The above
is happening to us on PE 1550s 2450s & 6400s anyway. I believe <DUCKS> that,
unless you are running single CPU hogging apps on a one per processor basis,
you dont lose a great deal with one processor dealing with the IRQs and the
other(s) running the software.
