I'm currently testing 2.6.29.1 without any additional patches but with the pci=nomsi boot option. I didn't notice any hickups, yet. I'm running a stresstest on a GBit link for quite some time now. Earlier tests with older kernels and MSI burped earlier. I will do more testing. If it turns out this is stable I will test the same kernel with Message Signaled Interrupts to see if that causes some breakage. -- Greetings, Michael. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
