OOPS - APIC or othere?

[Sumit Pandya]

Hi All,
	At one of our client I faced timer problem in kernel-2.4.26 and I tried to
fixed with patching "arch/i386/kernel/mpparse.c" file taken from
patch-2.4.27.
...	...	...
Mikael Pettersson:
  o i386 and x86_64 ACPI mpparse timer bug
...	...	...
	After booting up the system now I get OOPS. Did I applied partial patch by
taking only patch for mpparse.c from the whole buntch? Does it broken
dependency to some other functionality? I've ACPI support enabled into
kernel.
	Does following Len's patch provide solution to my OOPS?
ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/patches/test/2.4.26-rc4/200

I can see following messages before OOPS
Enabled ExtINT on CPU#0
ESR Value before enabling vector : 00000000
ESR Value after enabling vector : 00000000
ENABLING IO-APIC IRQs
... Here OOPS start ....

	One more point here is with same kernel source and its configuration and
SMP is enabled with 2  processors the kernel boots up. While it was giving
oops in uniprocessor.
