SMP kernel from RHEL3 only with noapic?

Hi,

I have Dual PIII 1GHz machine. I tryed to run RHEL on it (Taroon). I
have to use noapic as kernel parameter to run in SMP mode (system hangs
after some [OK] messages).

Is this a bug of MB (Bios?) or may I help with providing more
information (I know that APIC is for IRQ routing in SMP mode)?
