[ros-dev] APIC support on uniprocessor machines

[Hartmut Birr]

Hi,   

if your machine can run M$ windows in APIC mode, you can use the SMP
build. For using the apic mode, the bios must provide an MP structure.
The acpi structures doesn't contain the wiring between the apic and the
physical interrupt lines. But sharing of interrupts in non apic mode
should also work. I've a test machine which does share one interrupt
with two scsi controllers and one network card. The scsi cards work
perfectly. The nic driver is loaded, but it didn't work properly. I
think this has nothing to do with the interrupt.
