Dear Marc,

see for Interupt problems:

http://prism54.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=171

I had the same error: "Assuming someone else called the IRQ"

I found error in the first part in my /var/log/boot.msg during APIC start.

I made an Update of my BIOS and now there are no error.

But, I am in the moment not able to retest the error situation.

Perhaps this solves your problem.

Tobias
