APIC error on CPUx

[Vladimir Dvorak <dvorakv@vdsoft.org>]

Hello to all,

after mailserver installation im getting these messages from kernel:

APIC error on CPU1: 40(40)
APIC error on CPU1: 40(40)
APIC error on CPU0: 00(40)
APIC error on CPU0: 40(40)
APIC error on CPU0: 40(40)
APIC error on CPU1: 40(40)
APIC error on CPU1: 40(40)
APIC error on CPU1: 40(40)

Approximatelly from 2 to 5 messages per 24 hours.

Linux requisities:
Debian 3.1
Linux mailserver 2.6.8-3-686-smp #1 SMP Thu Feb 9 07:05:39 UTC 2006 i686
GNU/Linux

Hardware:
Intel SR1200


Solution from google ?
 "upgrade BIOS firmware"  - but  Im sure the BIOS is the latest.


How serious is this problem ? Does some patch exist to workaround APIC
errors ?
What is the sense of putting "noapic and nolapic" parameters into the
cmdline ? ( Can these parameters cause performance decreasing ? )

Thank you !

Vladimir Dvorak
