::nods:: Yes, I realize that there are other low-end SMP boards
categorized trash, but when someone asks me what low-end SMP motherboard
to get, the first thing I tell them is to /not/ get the BP6.

If you think that a stream of APIC retries is 'working very well,' then
I'm sorry to say, you've got another thing coming. :p Besides, a 40 day
uptime is *not* all that spectacular; I've had uptimes in excess of 200
days before, running on garbage hardware (worse than even the BP6).

anyways, the fact remains that it was your motherboard that is causing
these errors. The retries are still there in 2.2, they just aren't
reported.

you can say about the BP6 what you want but it appears that there are
(if your vision is right) many other low end SMP boards categorized
trash. there has been one mistake with it and that's the capacitor
behind a regulator that may have been mis-dimentioned due to the
partchange of that particular capacitor.

my 2.2 kernel running on the BP6 proves that it may work very well,
unless you think that uptimes of > 40 days is bad.

This is due to your piece of trash motherboard. The reason that the older
kernel didn't catch these errors is because (IIRC) it wasn't looking for
them; they were there even then. The BP6 is a low-end mainboard and was
engineered very poorly; these errors are due to that fact alone.

Abit designed the board wrong.  there are things you can do to reduce 
the incidence of this error: upgrading the bios, better cooling, more
powerful power supply, replacing an out-of-spec capacitor (if v1.1).
jeez, it's almost like a 12-step program for recovering from BP6ing ;)

>  This message doesn 't  appears in Kernel-2.2.17 only in Kernel-2.4

indeed: the error still happens in 2.2, but is simply not reported.
note also that this message is a *warning* - an inter-apic message 
was corrupted, and automatically retried.
