You might remember over the last 8 or 10 months, I've had problems
with this beast locking up at random. Over the weekend I was trying
to figure out how to set the console to a higher resolution so I
could get more on the screen. I also stumbled across the settings
for kernel parameters. In there was spalsh apic and lapic. I
looked up what these did and decided to try changing them to noapic
and nolapic. Then I rebooted. The console resolution was fixed and
for 3 days now, the machine hasn't locked up. Has anyone heard of
these apic settings causing problems if they are enabled?
