On one machine with onboard 7880 I'm getting errors with 2.1.x but on
another 2.1.x works ok. The error occurs during booting:
scsi : aborting command due to timeout
I get one error for each device. Adding 'noapic' works around the
problem. The machine that has the problem does get 'Warning: Multiple
IO-APICs not yet supported' when booted without 'noapic'.

Question 1: do other people having aic7xxx problems like this also get
the Multiple IO-APICs warning, and does adding 'noapic' solve their
problem?

Question 3: could somone who knows the io apic code clue me in to what
the issues are with supporting multiple apics ? should this work as is
or is there a bug here?

please e-mail me (hassey@gte.net), I'll summarize and post/e-mail any
info.

john.
