Re: [9fans] Errors..

I replaced the disk and in single cpu operation the io/error has not
been reported yet. I have activated the other cpu too!

BTW, I tried the system on a dual Celeron ABIT-BP6 motherboard.
As soon as second cpu is activated, the following error is printed
repeatedly:

cpu1: apic error 0x0000008

Looks like the mp kernel has problems?
