Hi!

I received this warning at bootime:


May 23 11:17:56 news kernel: IO APIC #2......
May 23 11:17:56 news kernel: .... register #00: 02000000

May 23 11:17:56 news kernel:  WARNING: unexpected IO-APIC, please mail
May 23 11:17:56 news kernel:           to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have a Linux server running 2.2.14 kernel patched for Adaptec AIC7xxx driver version:
5.1.29/3.2.4. 
My motherboard is a Supero PIII DM3 with 2 CPU PIII Coppermine at 600Mhz,    
with one Adaptec AIC-7892 Ultra 160/m SCSI host adapter Ultra-160/m LVD/SE Wide 
Controller. 

My server is very loaded, and after 1-2 hours of running I get this error:

May 23 09:34:17 news kernel: unexpected IRQ vector 217 on CPU#0! 
                             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I usually end up just hitting the reset switch. 

I subscribed to a aic7xxx mailing list and I found people having the same problem
( with the same kind of motherboard). 

So it seems that the my problems are coming from the IO-APIC and the CPUs. 

Please tell me what should I do, and in case that I should change tha motherboard 
please
indicate me a supported motherboard (dual CPU with  Ultra-160/m LVD/SE Wide 
controller).


Thank you,
Cristian Deacu
