    There were a lot of I/O-APIC & MP table parsing changes in 2.4.21
    for clustered apic. Chances are something there broke on your
    ancient BIOS & mobo. I can't immediately see anything obviously
    broken in 2.4.21: you'll have to identify the first pre-patch where
    things broke and then test or revert it piece by piece.

    You didn't run that through ksymoops and post it, so how is anyone
    supposed to be able to debug it?
