Yes, a colleague of mine has a similar beast, hence Caldera ships for quite a while now with an appropriate patch. Now Christoph Hellwig has identified a simpler solution (updated for -test11 by me):
--- linux/arch/i386/kernel/setup.c~ Fri Jul 7 04:42:06 2000 +++ linux/arch/i386/kernel/setup.c Tue Jul 18 19:22:48 2000 @@ -785,7 +785,8 @@ /* * get boot-time SMP configuration: */ - if (smp_found_config) + if (smp_found_config && /* try only if the cpu has a local apic */ + test_bit(X86_FEATURE_APIC, boot_cpu_data.x86_capability)) get_smp_config(); #endif #ifdef CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC
I think Alan has a similar thing in his test11-ac* series.
Hope that helps,
