[Bug 52553] Re: Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work!

[Luke Hoersten]

"Hi,

This seems to be te cause of the “APIC kernel panics”:

Mon-20060703/077657.html

(it’s in spanish)

According to the above link, recompiling the kernel to use a timing
frequency of 1000 Hz instead of the 250 Hz solves the “panic” problem.

You can install the “linux-source-2.6.15″ package and follow the
instructions here to build the kernel:

(Note that you have to add a “–initrd” switch in the “make-kpkg” command
to make it generate an “initd.img” and make the kernel boot properly)

The problem is that the restricted modules won`t be installed with this
new kernel, and this includes the “madwifi” driver for the wifi…

So you have to add it.

Greetings,
Marco. "

If you search the page for "APIC," many many people are having this
problem? Is there any way we can get the status of this bug updated?
