Does your mainboad support APIC?

I think that if The SMP kernel is ok,the mainboard must support APIC.
If the mainboad doesn't support APIC,maybe the kernel need support IRQ route table.
But the 2.2.x kernel  doesn't support parsing the IRQ route table supplied by LinuxBIOS. 
But the mainboad(sis630 chip set) used by me doesn't support it,according to ollie.( ollie at sis.com.tw)

Is the sis630 chip set  wired as following?

 
	 *                          INTA   INTB   INTC   INTD
	 *                         ----------------------------
	 * slot 1: dev=0x9  wiring: PIRQ_C PIRQ_D PIRQ_A PIRQ_B
	 * slot 2: dev=0xb  wiring: PIRQ_B PIRQ_C PIRQ_D PIRQ_A
	 * slot 3: dev=0xd  wiring: PIRQ_A PIRQ_B PIRQ_C PIRQ_D

In "freebios/src/northsouthbridge/sis/630/southbridge.c"

.........

#ifdef OLD_KERNEL_HACK
	struct pci_dev *pcidev;

	pcidev = pci_find_device(PCI_VENDOR_ID_SI, PCI_DEVICE_ID_SI_503, (void *)NULL);
	if (pcidev != NULL) {
		printk_info("Remapping IRQ on southbridge for OLD_KERNEL_HACK\n");
               // remap IRQ for PCI -- this is exactly what the BIOS does now.
               pci_write_config_byte(pcidev, 0x42, 0xa);
               pci_write_config_byte(pcidev, 0x43, 0xb);
               pci_write_config_byte(pcidev, 0x44, 0xc);
	}
	// ethernet fixup. This should all work, and doesn't, yet. 
	// so we hack it for now. 
	// need a manifest constant for the enet device.

	} else {

So, I modified mainboard.c in "freebios/src/mainboard/pcchips/m758lmr+" as following:

Then,I pluged my RTL8139 NIC into slot#1(PCI1).
After my box started,the IRQ of RTL8139 is 11.
But when I did  "ping",I got following messages:
