My understanding is that atpic is the old way of mapping
interrupts,
and apic is the new way. If apic doesn't work for whatever
reason,
you need atpic.
I was was getting lots of errors like
Could not allocate irq
attach returned 6
no driver attached
Can't map interrupt -> can't attach driver -> can't
talk to disks
-> can't mount root
