Product: kernel Component: booting Summary: APCI fails on MSI 6547 system board Version: 2.4.21-0.13mdk Platform: PC OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Problem: Using the 2.4.21-0.13mdk kernel leads to apparent interrupt conflicts between devices installed on this system using the MSi 6547 system board. These symptoms exist when setting the BIOS to APIC revision 1.1 or 1.4. The first signs of trouble during boot are seen when the Advansys SCSI module attempts to probe the bus for devices followed later on during the boot process by the ethernet adapter, bt878 device, and USB subsystem. Solution: Disable APIC in the BIOS or pass "pci=noapci" via the bootloader config or the commandline. Information: lspci -vvv output can be obtained here: http://fragfest.homelinux.net:81/test/lspciout.txt dmesg output can be obtained here: http://fragfest.homelinux.net:81/test/dmesgout.txt This problem has existed and required the bootloader option since after kernel 2.4.18.8.2mdk-1-3mdk. I had just hoped things would get sorted out sooner or later as there had been quite a few bugs related to this subsystem. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
