Why does my kernel report lots of "APIC error" messages?

(REG, contributed by Mark Hahn) You may get messages like: APIC error on CPU1: 00(08).

APIC is the hardware that ia32 systems use to communicate between CPUs to handle low-level events like interrupts and TLB flushes. APIC messages are checksummed, and automatically retried when they fail. This message indicates that a transaction failed; it's only a problem when there are many of them. The APIC checksum is quite weak, so even a few failures is a cause for concern, since it implies that some corruption has likely gone undetected.

Assuming you're not forcing your motherboard to use an invalid system clock (i.e. AGP other than 66 MHz), this is strictly a physical design flaw in your motherboard. The Abit BP6 is notorious for this flaw, but it's not unheard of on other boards (such as the Gigabyte BXD), and it's possible on any board that uses APICs.

You can force the kernel not to use APIC like this with the "noapic" kernel option. This also forces CPU0 to handle all interrupts.
