Well, there is good news and bad news.
The good news is that if I remove this hint the machine boots with 2 =
CPUs.
The bad news is that I get lots of:
CPU0: local APIC error 0x40
CPU1: local APIC error 0x40
messages and the machine is very unresponsive. Every keystroke has a =
second or two of delay. It really is unusable.
If memory serves I had to turn off APIC in order to see both CPUs at =
some time in the past. However, at some time in the past I had both =
CPUs and did not have the severe unresponsiveness that I get without =
this hint.
So with APIC I get both CPUs but an unusable config. Without APIC I =
have one CPU but things are lively.
What next?
Dan
