If so, there's a known bug in many BIOSes > with these chipsets. I'm waiting on some docs from VIA to fix this issue. I'm looking after a box with EPoX 8K9A2+ board (IIRC), with KT400 chip set. Booting with ACPI enabled (i. e. no acpi=off in kernel command line) makes most interrupts (network, disk) invisible. acpi=off fixes this. I haven't bothered to report this because it's running some SuSE-patched 2.4.20 kernel (they did patch newer ACPI, "Subsystem revision 20030228"). Is testing a newer kernel or ACPI stuff worthwhile or should I wait? It's a production machine, so "see if this works" is out of the game, "it should work" can be tested in times of low load but not necessarily on short notice.
