I have to boot it from a SmartStart CD to access the system configuration in it, and I couldn't enable the advanced mode to see whether or not APIC is enabled. But, after switching to another OS profile (Linux) there it seems that issue got fixed. After I did the change, I can see that the CPU has the feature APIC: CPU: Intel Pentium III (797.48-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x683 Stepping = 3 Features=0x383fbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,MMX,FXSR,SSE> Before that, it did not: CPU: Intel Pentium III (797.48-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x683 Stepping = 3 Features=0x383f9ff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,MMX,FXSR,SSE> PS: Sorry it took some time to check up on this. The server is in a co-location facility, and I don't go there often. PS2: On other Compaq/HP servers, I've had success setting APIC mode to "full table mapped". I just couldn't find that on this one, the system configuration does not give me any advanced options or mode. Cheers, -- Anders.
