hmmm, would these sis-related pirq problems be related to the current
problems lots of people with a via chipset (at least the apollo pro 133a
chipset) and an smp-enabled kernel are seeing? currently, people with
this chipset and an smp-enabled kernel have to disable apic if they wish
to use usb. i've been told a few times that it's a problem with pci irq
routing, but have been able to find a fix. reports of this problem pop
up every-so-often on the linux-usb list.

here's my dump_pirq output:

Interrupt router at 00:07.0: VIA 82C596 PCI-to-ISA bridge
PIRQA (link 0x01): irq 11
PIRQB (link 0x02): irq 5
PIRQC (link 0x03): irq 10
PIRQD (link 0x05): irq 12

any ideas? i also saved the lspci -vvvxxx and dmesg output if that'll
be helpful.

thanks,
pete
