hi all.  i get this error message at boot.  i've had it before on my 
computer and turned off apic somehow and the problem went away.  that 
was ~6 months ago and of course i've forgotten what the heck i did. 
anyway, i'm playing around with fedora 6 on the same computer and have 
tried all the magical incantations but nothing seems to work. 
pci=noapic, noapic, noapic nolapic, noacpi noapic, noacpi noapci 
nolapic, acpi=off...  anybody else in a similar situation and what did 
you do?  thanks, eric c.
