APIC Problems
APIC(Advanced Programable Interrupt Controller) allows your system to double the number of allowed IRQ's and can sometimes lead to errors. APIC seems to cause failures in devices such as network cards and some ata (raid) controllers and possibley in other pci expansion cards.
Common errors are:
| Code: | | hda: lost interrupt |
and
| Code: | | NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out |
These errors can easily fixed by adding
To your kernel boot options
Examples
From the live cd
| Code: | | > Gentoo pci=noapci |
In Grub
| Code: | timeout 0
default 0
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo
root=(hd0,0)
kernel=(hd0,0)/bzImage root=/dev/md0 hda=ide-scsi pci=noapic |
In Lilo
| Code: | boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
lba32
default=linux
image=/boot/bzImage
label=linux
read-only
root=/dev/hda3
pci=noapic |
Or by disabling it from within yout kernel and recompiling it. APIC is under
| Code: | Processor type and features->
Local APIC support on uniprocessors |
in the 2.4.x kernel.
