I have a lot of this errors in my Centos stock 4.3 version in an Intel
D945gnt motherboard with a Pentium D (dual core)
If I disable apic in the grub.conf (apic=off) will I get a performance
hit? Im running Asterisk on that machine.
40 is Received Illegal Vector
20 is Send Illegal Vector
60 means you're getting both errors at the same time.
Basically it means that the APIC bus messages are malformed.
The cause can be hardware or software, it's difficult to tell.

APIC should not affect performance, it might affect your ability to auto power off the machine. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Im running Asterisk on that machine.you turn apic off with a noapic on the kernel boot param line. and you might also want nolapic, the kernel-doc package has more info on what these are and how / when you might to use them. - KB -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219 at icq
I have the following message at boot time: Local APIC disabled by BIOS -- you can enable it with "lapic" This might be involved in suspend not working, perhaps or other things. I have the 'latest' bios from HP for my system. So I found the following message, but after installing the kernel-docs, I cannot figure out which deals with APIC...
