FC4 kernel update problems
 

I did a Yum update for the kernel . The kernel updated and installed . On booting the new kernel I get the following message :
MP-BIOS bug unable to connect 8354 timer and something about APIC.
How do I get around this ?:eek:

Don't think, upgrade to FC5, it may help, ot you can return to your previous kernel. Just download, or install from CD.

Solved ...:p. APIC and ACPI are 2 entirely seperate things I found out .
One refers to "priority Interrupt controller" and the other to Power management . The MP in MP-bios referes 2 "multi processing " what was that doing in my board ?:rolleyes: Setting APIC to disabled seems to set things right . :D

Another thing .. I have been having problems trying to install Win XP on this board maybe this was the reason ... Will try installing and post here ...

Glad to see solved :). When you install WXP, it may erase your grub, and it also may not. Be careful anyway.
