Greetings:

I performed a kernel update on a RH9 server and saw this in the dmesg log & during boot. Thought I would notify you per the recommendation. 

Message was: 

IO APIC #3......
.... register #00: 03000000
.......    : physical APIC id: 03
.... register #01: 00178020
.......     : max redirection entries: 0017
.......     : PRQ implemented: 1
.......     : IO APIC version: 0020
.... register #02: 00178020
.......     : arbitration: 00
An unexpected IO-APIC was found. If this kernel release is less than
three months old please report this to [email protected]


The box is a Dell PowerEdge 700, using the onboard Ethernet, originally configured 7/04. 
Previous kernel: kernel-smp-2.4.20-8.i386.rpm
New kernel:  kernel-smp-2.4.20-43.9.legacy.i686.rpm 

I pulled it off http://download.fedoralegacy.org/redhat/9/updates/i386/ 
We had to build a e1000 generic driver on the original install, as well as for this kernel, if that makes any difference.

Regards,
Bill
