The occasional APIC error is fine (its logging a hardware event - probably something that caused enough noise to lose a message and retry it). The APIC bus is designed to stand these occasional errors
I'm curious... is there any way to determine what is causing these? On a UP athlon I have:
cw:tty5@charon(cw)$ uname -r ; uptime && grep ERR /proc/interrupts 2.4.17-rc2 02:09:50 up 4 days, 5:18, 10 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 ERR: 5216
which equates several per minute at times... no funny hardware, not running X11, and I don't remembering seeing these a while ago on this same mainboard (but I never really looked either, so that might not be true).
On a similar Athlon box, which has been up 32 days, I have nearly 45000 events, whilst on a UP P3 which has been up for 124 days I see none, another UP PII which has been up for 196 days see's none, an SMP P3 which has been up 150 days sees none too... is this an Athlon or VIA chipset quirk perhaps?
