This is listed as bug in redhat, that hasn't been resolved.  Is it also a
bug here?  I don't know where to look to find the kernel options, how to
change them or recompile.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=89527 
Lists that 
---- from bug listing -----
The BOOT and single processor 2.4.20 kernels for RedHat 9 (including the
kernel
on the boot disks and CD) have been compiled with the following two options
off:
 (All of the SMP kernels have these options enabled.)

# CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC is not set
# CONFIG_X86_UP_IOAPIC is not set

Turning the above kernel options on and recompiling allows the machine to
boot.
---- end copy -----
Also that it applies to some other controllers as well.
Could this be the same problem I'm having with FreeBSD 4.9 and 5.1 installs?

Thanks,
Mike
