[5150] Dell's BIOS APIC Problem?!?
Hi all!
I've installed the wonderful Gentoo Linux on my laptop but the kernel writes this in the /var/log/messages file:
Dell Inspiron with broken BIOS detected. Refusing to enable the local APIC.
I've tried to recompile kernel lot of times but this message always appears.
Can someone help me?
Thanks :)

I believe it means ACPI and yes, the Dell BIOSs have been known to not be fully ACPI compliant.
