I compare 2 output of linux command pci from both Linuxbios booted linux and a regular bios booted linux. There are no IRQ assignments for lots of devices including IDE controller, SMBUS. Does linuxbios assign IRQs at all in the code? == Linuxbios

It was easy to see when doing A cat /proc/interrupts and watching the offending interrupt configured Wrong. Just increment like mad. This is the result of a cat /proc/interrupts. The interrupt increments of timer and ide0 seem fine. I compared it with a normal bios boot.

that's the interesting part. What happens is that once init is running and things get a bit more formal, things start to slow down. There are lots of causes we've found for this, but interrupts is typically the big one. The serial interrupt? Shouldn't it be easy like assigning it an irq? What

I got the keyboard controller problem fixed by enabling Keyboard separately (Not through the PNP devices list). Since now the PNP devices don't get enabled at all. For now it's ok because we need only serial com port and keyboard. But I will love to have the code for SMSC if you have one

one possibility is that you are getting no serial interrupts, so the serial I/O is happening only very rarely. You're going to need to fix your linuxbios burning up so that it is built correctly. One question, again, as I forget: what mobo is this? ron

This is our proprietary mobo. In case you want a quick glance, http://www.nexcom.com/product/nex/nex7220/ North Bridge: E7501 South Bridge: ICH3 - S SuperIO: SMSC(LPC47B27x) I base on the code for tyan/s2735. If it was the serial interrupt, why didn't it happen earlier? It starts getting slow at
