Hi David, you are on the right track.  Your clues are the these.
On your P3 you may have a BIOS setting related to the local APIC.
Futz with any relevant BIOS settings and see if you can get it to
work that way.

If that fails, you can try forcing it with the lapic kernel command
line argument.  How to do it has been written up many times, but
here's the first one I found with google:
