It would be nice to get it working, because oprofile needs it.
(Well, oprofile can use the rtc, but then it doesn't profile
ints-off code)

so, is there anything I could do for you in that IO-APIC case ? Especially in
my via-rhine case? As I mentioned in my previous mail, would some via-diag,
mii-diag outputs (what options) be helpful for you?

That's the local APIC (CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC) not IO-APIC
(CONFIG_X86_UP_IOAPIC). They should be separate, and it's been a while
since I've tested it, but CONFIG_X86_UP_IOAPIC=n should still work OK
