APIC-ERROR-Messages -

Hallo,

sorry if this is a silly question...
as far as I understood my smp-board seem not well designed - so I get APIC error messages nearly every 1-3 seconds. These mmessages do not help me because -so I was told - it is not possible to fix the problem. Is it possible to eliminate these error messages. My logfiles grow enormously and are "trashed" with these messages...

I'm running Kernel 2.4.0ac2 successfully hoping that "sudden death" will not come back...

kind regards
Norbert

They are a warning that your box isnt going to be happy long term.; Eventually a bad message will get through with a good checksum. There was a panic case in the code when messages got reset that is fixed in 2.4.0-preleease

You can certainly comment the printk's out of your own tree

I don't know what board you have, but my abit BP6 improved with more cooling
(better fans on the cpu's and a fan on another hot chip that only had a heatsink before.) And use thermal grease instead of the cleaner but inferior
rubber pads.

Lower clock frequency tends to help too, but nobody wants that. ;-)
