A couple minor issues with apic and lapic.

In my case I bought a x86_64 system and installed F8 x86_64.

It was crashing hard (X frozen, would ping, but no ssh login) after a 
few minutes of web browsing and file copy from USB to PATA (about 3 mb.)

Memtest86+ ran 24 hours with no problems.

CPU thermals on the low end.

Followed :

The kernel arg "noapic" gets it stable.

The kernel arg "nolapic" makes it come up with no ethernet devices.

So for now it's noapic.

MOBO : MSI K9MM-V K8M800 AM2
MEM : 1Gx2 CORSAIR TWIN2X2048-6400
CPU : AMD A64 X2 4000+ 2.1G AM2

This has the VIA K8M800 chipset.
