This particular message is probably because you have nothing connected
to your parallel port. Disable your parallel port in your BIOS or
connect something to the parallel port, and you should see that go
away. However, it can just as safely be ignored; it's not likely to be
the cause of your problems.

Disabling APIC may help with your system instability and won't cause you
any issues on a fileserver.
