Working UP IOAPIC ?
Are there any mainboards for AMD Thoroughbred core on which the UP IOAPIC works with Linux? I've tried several, all have had floods of APIC error (02) and (00), and I understand from previous postings that this indicates my APIC bus is buggy.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

My Epox 8K9A3+ works perfectly with it's APIC, as long as I don't use ACPI, that is. I'm using a XP2400, this board has a VIA KT400 chipset.
Never seen any APIC errors.

Thanks for the hint! I turned off ACPI on my Dell SMP box and now I can run UP with APIC turned on. Just now re-compiling to have IO-APIC on UP as a test, then on to SMP mode testing.
