Hi Alan,

Should this one fix those problems with IO-APICs seen on most UP Via Boards?
For me it doesn't work. For now I have two options with 2.5:

1. Disbable IO-APICs completely, but then my machine only boots with acpi=off

or

2. Use IO-APICs, to get a bootable kernel with acpi enabled, but then all
onboard devices won't work (via-rhine...) correctly.

Is there any chance to get acpi working without IO-APICs?

lspci (if it helps) output is attached.

Christian

Some - there are rather a lot of variables involved. This fixes up one specific
problem (or should do). It writes the IRQ back to the PCI devices, which is
needed for internal devices.

The fact it still fails in your case makes me wonder if the workaround isnt
being properly triggered
