Looks very similar to mine:

I've got the same error message. In this mode, the kernel only works
with 'noapic' (in 2.2.6-ac1), but this not what I want. In this mode the
second CPU does nothing:
root@demdlu01:~# cat /proc/stat
cpu 1154647 29006 1697104 7661555
cpu0 1154647 29006 1697104 2390399
cpu1 0 0 0 5271156

Btw, I have a Intel 440BX:
Bus 0, device 0, function 0:
Host bridge: Intel 440BX - 82443BX Host (no AGP) (rev 2).
Medium devsel. Master Capable. Latency=64.
Prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x0 [0x8].

It seems to me that linux does not support Compaq SMP machines very
well. Has anyone an idea? Ingo, please...
