No, the APIC configs are and the IOAPIC is on:

	CONFIG_PREEMPT=y
	CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC=y
	CONFIG_X86_UP_IOAPIC=y
	CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC=y
	CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC=y
	CONFIG_X86_TSC=y
	CONFIG_X86_MCE=y

But see my reply to Will's questions since the APIC->NMI
never worked on this laptop - I've always had to use RTC for
2.4 kernels.

Thanks,
