unfortunately the system crashes are anyway too much.

now i can work for some times, but after about 30minutes or more i got the same error again. local version error.

i guess there is sth with that kernel panic during boot up.

LOCAL APIC VERSION 0x14 NOT AS EXPECTED.

I have read, that 0x14 is LAPIC for Intel Pentium and Intel Xeon CPUs. Of course I have got an AMD ML-34 Turion, but nothing in my BIOS to disable APIC.

Does anyone know, how to use the apic kernel flags?

nolapic, disableapic

do i have to write them just down? or this way -disableapic or this way disablepanic=1 ...

thx for any help, cheers

sorry for the delayed response... I got the following (in part) from a post on boot flags. These are meant for UNIX but you might be able to find some that help. The flag is presented first with the explanation underneath.

APIC Flags

Code:

apic

Use IO-APIC. Default

Code:

noapic

Don't use the IO-APIC.

Code:

disableapic

Don't use the local APIC

Code:

nolapic

Don't use the local APIC (alias for i386 compatibility)

Code:

noapictimer

Don't set up the APIC timer

Code:

no_timer_check

Don't check the IO-APIC timer. This can work around problems with incorrect timer initialization on some boards.

Code:

apicmaintimer

Run time keeping from the local APIC timer instead of using the PIT/HPET interrupt for this. This is useful when the PIT/HPET interrupts are unreliable.

Code:

noapicmaintimer

Don't do time keeping using the APIC timer. Useful when this option was auto selected, but doesn't work.

Code:

apicpmtimer=1

Either set to 0 or 1. Same as apicmaintimer=1/0. Do APIC timer calibration using the pmtimer. Implies apicmaintimer. Useful when your PIT timer is totally broken. Sometimes there are timer routing problems on some Nvidia and ATI chipsets. Assuming you're using 64bit then you can try apicmaintimer or apicpmtimer. On 32bit you can try "pci=noapic"... Needs testing

Code:

disable_8254_timer

Code:

enable_8254_timer

Disable/Enable interrupt 0 timer routing over the 8254 in addition to over
the IO-APIC. The kernel tries to set a sensible default.
