Everything works pretty > well without APIC, I was just curious about getting it to work. Yesterday I gave APIC a try on my nForce2 based K7 Triton GA-7N400-L single processor motherboard while fighting a video problem and with APIC booted 5.3-BETA5 fine (but didn't fix my problem). In case it makes any difference, I loaded the module from the bootloader.
