I keep getting kernel panic saying "local apic error\n ""..xnu-1228\..\mp.c:683" whenever darwin tries to load..i have a dual core intel..could this be something related to bios or there is a patch available for it? I have tried kalaway and ideneb(leopard installed first but spat that error when rebooted) with similar error..i've been lookin all over internet tryin to solve this thing..could be local apic not enabled or some kernel option has to be enabled/disabled? any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Field Note #1 @lemonsat 2009-10-02

The same error is happening to me in my Hp Dv6 1210sl, nobody can help?

Field Note #2 @kaolti 2009-10-20

I have a hp dv6 1250. Tried all available distros (i think), only Kalyway worked (except for the video, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4530).

BUT i had to add the "cpus=1" flag for it to boot. Maybe this will help.
