Known bug, been there since at least 2.4.0-test11.  There was a patched
2.4.2 that worked well here, as well as 2.4.5-ac17 (Though I haven't tested
2.4.5-ac17 as long as the patched 2.4.2).

2001-06-27 Thread G. Hugh Song

My Linux for Alpha on UP2000 SMP has had the same problem with 
the newer kernels 2.4.* with the tulip network driver.
It's got Netgear 310TX with the Digital's original 21140 chip.
In my case, it has nothing to do with the APIC because Alpha 
does not have anything related to APIC.

I suspected that the the message may indicate various
different situations:

Different APIC code, I guess.

Sorry - all I know about the APIC is that it's a four-letter
word :)
