I think your problem is removing all optimization (removing '-O2' when kgdb option is enabled). I realize that debugging is easier with no optimization but the kernel compile always spilled registers for me when using -O0. I can do -O1 or -O2 with no problem. Paul Fulghum [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There are definitely plans to do this, and in fact on IA64 ACPI is already used to obtain PCI routing. However, IA32 ACPI efforts have been focused on other things, since we assumed MPS tables would be around for a while longer. I guess that is no longer a correct assumption. So yes, there are

Hi, Gigabyte (and/or AMI and/or VIA) decided that it is not worth of effort to create full mptable and since version F5a for 6VXD7 they do not report PCI interrupts as 16-19, but only as traditional 0-15 (and they do not report them as conforms/conforms, but as active-lo/level). For now
