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.

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

Is it possible to eliminate these error messages. My logfiles grow enormously and are "trashed" with these messages...
You can certainly comment the printk's out of your own tree
At a frequency of 1 every half hour or so from my BP6 motherboard (more frequent during heavy IO) I found that message pretty annoying and commented it out.
The 'cat /proc/interrupts' last line "ERR: <n>" gives a running count if you are interested.
