Hi,
I just installed f7 on a new box. When I tried to boot it after install I got
the following error:
MP-BIOS bug: 8254 Timer not connected to IO-APIC
Kernel Panic Not syncing: IO-APIC + Timer doesn''t work! Try using the
noapic
kernel parameter.
Passing nooapic to the kernel at boot lets the machine boot.
There are no BIOS updates available for the box.
Is this something I should put into bugzilla or is simply expected on some
machines?
FYI:
[root@tigger2 pts0 ~]# uname -r
2.6.21-1.3228.fc7
[root@tigger2 pts0 ~]#
The box is a Lenovo MTM7387-24U
[root@tigger2 pts0 ~]# lspci -v

I am not sure what other info would be useful, so please ask if someone feels
I should provide something else.

It could be that Lenovo has something similar. You can read about how HP handled this here: "...these messages occur because the kernel ignores the ACPI timer override for the system timer..." http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&objectID=c00781084 I don''t know if this is considered an OS bug per-se. -Sam> Passing nooapic to the kernel at boot lets
