Re: lost interrupt hell - Plea for Help

[Rudmer van Dijk]

Sorry for the delay...

I build a 2.4.19-pre8-ac4 kernel without local apic and now after running
for 4 hours I still did NOT get the message "spurious 8259A interrupt:
IRQ7." while with apic enabled the message appears after ~3 min... so this
is local apic related.

This is an athlon on a SIS-chip mobo.

I also found this in dmesg:
PCI: PCI BIOS revision 2.10 entry at 0xfdb01, last bus=1
PCI: Using configuration type 1
PCI: Probing PCI hardware
Unknown bridge resource 0: assuming transparent
PCI: Using IRQ router SIS [1039/0008] at 00:02.0

and this from lspci:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]: Unknown device 0735
(rev 01)

also related??
