Intel 440GX

["Bob Staaf" <rstaaf cfl rr com>]

Hello all,

     I have followed the various threads relating to the apic errors on
440GX based machines.  I did not have any problems installing enigma
normally or using "linux apic" as suggested.  I would up booting the
installer using "linux apic" just in case.  Anyway, I am seeing a couple of
errors that I would like to know more about, one related directly to the
440GX bios.  The following are snippets from dmesg.  What is "Unknow bridge
resource" referring to and what can I do about it?  Has anyone else seen
this one?

This second message also has me concerned, anyone else seeing this one?

 *** If you see IRQ problems, in paticular SCSI resets and hangs at boot
 *** contact your vendor and ask about updates.

Thanks in advance for any help!  The server boots and runs fine but, errors
tend to get on my nerves no matter how small and I would like to know more
about them.
