Found and enabled local APIC!
Does it make a difference if you boot with nolapic ?

Hi Dave,

booting without lapic allowed it to boot but now I get
...
Local APIC disabled by BIOS -- you can enable it with "lapic"
...
Local APIC not detected. Using dummy APIC emulation.
 which means more processor overhead - right?

also cpuspeed doesn't work anymore - I don't have a cpufreq dir

I don't get the following messages with kernel 2798
powernow: PowerNOW! Technology present. Can scale: frequency and voltage.
Nov  1 19:33:34 joker4 kernel: powernow: SGTC: 10000

Hz.

I removed and reinstalled the kernel, it seems FC6 upgrade
installed a 586 kernel - now the only problem I have is my
local apic is not being used.
