telling kernel not to use apic
Hi!
I been trying to get 2 sata disks to work on slackware 10. using bonecrushers sata bootdisk. The bootdisk boots fine but I get these annoying messages:
There seem to be regular dma timeouts:
hdc: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x24
hdc: DMA interrupt recovery
hdc: lost interrupt
hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x24
hda: DMA interrupt recovery
hda: lost interrupt
Hardware:
it keeps doing that from every little thing u do like trying to add swap etc.
I read from another who had the same problem that if u turn off apic in the kernel it works just fine
When you booted from the bootdisk you get the option to pass extra parameters to the kernel and I tried loading the rootdisk with noapic option nothing happend so I must been doing it wrong? anyone know how its done?
thanx
