Man, I'm just chock *full* o'problems this week, aren't I?
Under 2.6.0-test5, loading NVIDIA proprietary driver (patched with the
stuff at http://www.minion.de/nvidia.html) reports:
Sep 11 23:37:57 nausicaa kernel: 0: nvidia: Can't find an IRQ for your NVIDIA card!
Sep 11 23:37:57 nausicaa kernel: 0: nvidia: Please check your BIOS settings.
Sep 11 23:37:57 nausicaa kernel: 0: nvidia: [Plug & Play OS ] should be set to NO
Sep 11 23:37:57 nausicaa kernel: 0: nvidia: [Assign IRQ to VGA] should be set to YES
Same driver source does not have this effect under test4, with
approximately the same config (i.e., make oldconfig).
Yeah, I cleaned everything appropriately and rebuilt for test5. Bzzt.
(FWIW, I do not have the referenced options in my BIOS, but I strongly
suspect that isn't the problem, anyway.)
Cheers,
Kyle

I wonder why pnp os should be off?
Linux does support pnp, and is a pnp os. Isn't it?
Have you tried disabling apic? Maybe it's an apic or irq routing bug?
What motherboard is it?

SMP without APIC doesn't make sense, but I suppose I could try running
a non-SMP kernel to see if the problem goes away. Still, APIC is
active in test4 and the driver works there.

I've got the same motherboard and processors with a GF4 MX420
I'm running 2.6.0-test5 with the 4496 drivers with the patches from
minion.de without any problems.

I've attached a copy of my .config in case it may help you

Try without ACPI support. At boot do acpi=off.

BIOS has setting whether IRQ should be assigned to the VGA card
or not - default is not, and if you'll leave it this way, you'll get
no IRQ:
platan:~# lspci -s 0:0e.0 -vb
00:0e.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL (rev 27) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
Subsystem: ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL
Flags: bus master, stepping, medium devsel, latency 66, IRQ 255
Memory at 51000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable)
I/O ports at 1000
Memory at 50001000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable)
Capabilities: [5c] Power Management version 2
If you'll change BIOS's setting, your Nvidia (or vsync code on matroxfb) should
work.

As far as I can tell, my BIOS has no such option. I went through it
with a fine-toothed comb last night. But, given the report from Ken,
I'll do a build from scratch of everything (including the ReiserFS
patch. Thanks Oleg!)
