This is the first one I've actually had in front of me:
HP TX1000 notebook
Nvidia C51/MCP51 mobile chipset
Booting with "noapic" gives some very strange results. This is two
snapshots of /proc/interrupts taken one second apart. It almost looks
like timer interrupts are occurring on IRQ 0 and IRQ7 on different
CPUs:

I can't capture the messages. Even when it boots it doesn't last
long enough to get them.
