He needs APIC because he's running an Intel Multi Processor. The
"Advanced Programable Interupt Contoller" is not optional here (kernel
config). I'm not sure if it's really an otion at the hardware level
either if you want SMP. See "Intel Archetecture Software Developer's
Manual; Volume 3: Systems Programming" (Intel Order Number 243192,
the web reference I have seems to be down)section 7.5 if you really
want to know....
Anyway, I don'thave the faintest idea why you're getting this, I'm
running 2.4.1 on a testing/unstable system (dual PPro) and I don't
have a problem.
this is pretty low level stuff, probably want to check the kernel
mailing lists as there's nothing (I know of) that you can
[mis]configure.
