Hi, If you don't enable lapic, you will see cat /proc/interrupts with XT-PIC. if you try enable lapic, somehow IRQ routing should change and if /proc/interrupts still the same, with IRQs on XT-PIC. I think, lapic still not enable and you just get problems. Unless you know that lapic works, you should try it enable because it a trap that just give you a problem. Some years ago (2002/3) was a very common bug kernel try enable automatically lapic (when BIOS don't) and computer hangs .
