It looks like a known issue. According to the posts you refer to it happens on a dual CPU system, right?
No, I only have one Athlon XP.
2) if you have to use non-SMP kernel, pass "apic" parameter to the kernel. (on a boot: prompt type "linux apic" without quotes, of course)
I don't remember trying this option. Even if doubted it could help, I tried it but without success. Please confirm I did the right thing since I am not very familiar with Grub. The Linux entry consists of two lines, I edited the first one and simply added apic at the end of this line before booting. Is it correct? If so, my problem is still not solved... Thank you for your help! Patrick
