Tony, to answer your question...
No, the Local APIC isn't extremely useful on a uni-processor.
It does provide an additional timer, and that timer is efficient,
but that timer tends to stop when the system is idle, making
its use somewhat problematic on the old uniprocessor laptops.
As you tested that the "nolapic_timer" wasn't able to replace "nolapic",
the issue with the original BIOS was not related to that.
One other thing that (would have) been useful to try on that
old BIOS also would be nmi_watchdog=0 -- just in case your
config had enabled it.
But I see from bug 11953 that you are now building and booting with
LAPIC support on the latest BIOS, so this bug can be closed.
