Hello, Sorry if my posting is not appropriate... I'm very new to Linux, but inquisitive. I have just installed an Ubuntu 14.04 based desktop, Linux Lite 2.2 kernel 3.13.? H/W is Intel CPU i7-4790S = 4 Core +HT and I have VT enabled so I can run Virtualbox.
I have found the following in dmesg log file: [ 0.022633] Your BIOS is broken and requested that x2apic be disabled. [ 0.022633] This will slightly decrease performance. [ 0.022633] Use 'intremap=no_x2apic_optout' to override BIOS request. [ 0.022745] Enabled IRQ remapping in xapic mode [ 0.022746] x2apic not enabled, IRQ remapping is in xapic mode Is this also related to the issue in this thread.? If it it is, I can provide more information if you tell me what I need to do.?
