I'd guess that's the problem.. According to the NVidia documents APIC should be disabled since it can cause instability.

Do you have local APIC turned on or off in your kernel configuration?

I have a Debian/Woody distribution installed on a new dual-Xeon 4GB

Under kernel 2.4.25 (self compiled), SMP-mode, the nvidia-installer

Under kernel 2.4.25 (self compiled), single-processor mode, the nvidia
installer works correctly.

Under kernel 2.6.5 (self compiled), SMP-mode, the nvidia installer works
correctly.

I think there is an incompatibility with the first configuration. Anyone
else agree ?
