I've adjusted my MP table to use the correct IRQs. But the IDE interrupt is still lost. There is some message from linux kernel that I didn't understand. Is there something wrong with my timer settings? ..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not

bad mp table would be my guess. I think the I/O APICs are incorrectly assigned to buses. From the kernel messages, devices on bus 0 are transformed to high IRQs. Can anyone one confirm that the mptable.c under src/tyan/s2735 is a good one to boot SMP linux kernel? I might need to manually

The system failed when booting SMP linux kernel. It complains the IDE lost interrupt. Things were working fine with the non-SMP linux kernel. Has anyone seen it before? Note that the SMP kernel image was stored in the IDE hard disk. So BIOS was able to load the kernel to be executed. After Linux
