I was going to run some crude benchmarks on the box with and :: without APIC mode just to get an sense if we are missing anything :: running in noapic mode, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. So for Tyan Tigers, is it better to compile the kernel without APIC? About to install Linux on a dual 500 P3 here. :: But, Linux does seem to run just fine with USB and SMP in the noapic :: mode, which is a lot better than Win2000 can say, as it doesn't even :: support the VIA USB chipset on this board at all :) There's a Win2K patch for VIA chip sets now... I've got USB working under Win2K here. -- Juha - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
