Yep, sure enough, you guessed it. It is a bit of a strange problem. Today i haven't gotten any of the APIC error messages at all. Just shows how unstable the board is i guess. Yesterday i even had the machine lockup once or twice, which was really annoying. This is all kinda strange, it makes me almost wish i *hadn't* switched over to 2.4.1, since i never had a problem with the 2.2.x series...
