Asus CUV4X-DLS apic fun (pre8/ac22)

2001-07-01 Thread Justin Guyett
With apic enabled on this board, some normal amount of disk access (including building a kernel) is successful. However, irqs are messed up. The eepro100 module for the onboard 82559 nic loads, but prints this after the revision history: PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 00:07.0.
