Any install of Ubuntu or other Linux Distro on a Dual CPU Intel board, or a P4 HT board always gets the 8254 Timer message not connected to APIC.
Linux does a "workaround" for this, but the performance of this workaround is not that great. I've seen suggestions that you interrupt the regualar boot with PF4 and insert "NOAPIC" or some variation like NOLAPIC.
For the P4 HT boards you are supposed to disable HT
Has anyone experienced and successfully solved these problems?
Since Linux is heavily used on servers, I'd be surprised if there wasn't a fix for this.
People with this problem tend to get really irate and accuse Microsoft of having some evil influence on the bios used.
Any helpful hints?
