Let me guess, you have an Abit BP6 motherboard .....
If so, don't worry about it ... the SMP on the BP6 is basically a hack job,
which is why these error messages are getting generated. These things used to
lock the kernel tight in the early 2.4.x days, but now they're just annoying
messages. Even if you don't have a BP6, this is nothing to be worried about
unless it's causing lock ups.
What's happening, if I understand it correctly, is the CPU is getting "hung
up" momentarily. Eventually it works itself out, which is why it isn't really
an issue. There's the argument that it hurts system performance, but I don't
think it does so to a measurable degree.
Also, the kernel mailing list is going to be packed with emails about APIC,
if you feel like sifting through the moutain of posts.
Cheers,
Sean

Two brothers, Mort and Bill, like to sail. While Bill has a great
deal of experience, he certainly isn't the rigger Mort is.
