Hi. I am a debian newbie. I did an install of debian sarge and I am getting kernel errors. They say:
apm: BIOS not found APIC: error on CPU0: 60(60) There are many of the first error and an occasional second one. I was not exactly clear about what apm and acpi are. I am not even sure that I need either one. I sat down and read about them. It seems that I don't need them both, because if there is acpi support on my machine (the newer power mangement thing) then I dont need apm. So I went through dmesg and there are tons of APIC: lines (APIC this and APIC that with IRQ's etc). So acpi it seems to be! and so I guess I should nuke apm. Question 1: I did dpkg -l|grep apm and see apmd and libapml. So do I nuke em both? Question 2: Why do I get APIC: error on CPU0: 60(60)? I also see in dmesg the following line: ACPI Processor[CPU1](support C1). So what is this? The system is a single intel processor machine ( I think) and I think it is a non xenon processor (i think) so what are CPU1 and CPU0? Question 3: I am running this machine as a data server 24 hours a day. What do I need any power management at all? Ie: Can I nuke the packages acpi and acpid? Thus Summary Question 4: Am I right in the above and can I just do apt-get remove --purge acpi acpid apmd \ libapml , and be done with all these questions and not screw up my server?
