Great! Can you test one more configuration, please? I can't test it
properly with my SMP motherboard. Under "ac20", if you disable:
Symmetric multi-processing support (CONFIG_SMP)
you'll get to say yes to:
APIC support on uniprocessors (CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC)
If you say yes to that, you'll also get to say yes to:
IO-APIC support on uniprocessors (CONFIG_X86_UP_IOAPIC)
Can you check that the following patch against vanilla "ac20" works
correctly with SMP disabled and X86_UP_APIC enabled? (The original
patch I gave you won't compile with this configuration, since I put
the declaration in the wrong include file.) It shouldn't matter
whether X86_UP_IOAPIC is enabled or disabled.
In addition to checking that the sys/user times look right, please
check for the message:
Using local APIC timer interrupts.
in your boot messages (I *don't* think it'll be there, but I'm not
sure, and I'd really like to know one way or the other). In fact, if
you could send me your kernel messages up to the PCI probe, that would
be ideal.
Thanks muchly!
