apic problems

[Abhishek sinha]

Hi All

I am using dual processors with a Tyan Tiger 2505 T board and having so 
many problems with the APIC on the machine . I have looked around on the 
newsgroups and mailing list..with no hints...

Does the return code in the end of the message 00(02)
 > APIC error on CPU0: 00(08)
 > APIC error on CPU0: 08(08)
 > APIC error on CPU0: 08(08)
 > APIC error on CPU1: 02(02)
 > APIC error on CPU1: 02(08)

mean that this particular board i m using is crappy or the whole 2505T 
series cannot handle these kinds of requests


I am pasting the dmesg from the server below
