From 901408d3c40bdec92886f9e407bc1edccdb72f9b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zwane Mwaikambo Date: Wed, 28 Jul 2004 09:11:47 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] Recommend 'noapic' when timer via IOAPIC fails We might as well recommend the user boot with the noapic kernel parameter instead of filling poor Ingo's mailbox.
