I am able to telnet to the machine and work cooly..But serial is dead slow and the reason is as u said, ISA interrupts.. They are not coming in.. Its very clear. After a small investigation, I found out that the serial chip times out on the interrupt and "rs_timer" prints output in polled mode. By changing the "Timeout value", I was able to get faster output on the serial line. But the problem of ISA interrupts not being routed is still there. This is very irritating.
Dan, I further noticed that "i8259_init" disables all 8259 interrupts during initialization. I thot this could be a reason and enabled all 8259 interrupts in a seperate loop. Even that dint pay much except for a gush of ISA interrupts immediately after enabling. But what I am wondering is "How ISA interrupts tick" for mvista kernel, when all 8259 interrupts are disabled !! Am i missing sthg ?
