Product: kernel
Component: booting
Summary: APCI fails on MSI 6547 system board
Version: 2.4.21-0.13mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Problem:
Using the 2.4.21-0.13mdk kernel leads to apparent interrupt conflicts between devices
installed
on this system using the MSi 6547 system board. These symptoms exist when setting the
BIOS to APIC revision 1.1 or 1.4. The first signs of trouble during boot are seen
when the
Advansys SCSI module attempts to probe the bus for devices followed later on during
the boot
process by the ethernet adapter, bt878 device, and USB subsystem.
Solution:
Disable APIC in the BIOS or pass "pci=noapci" via the bootloader config or the
commandline.
Information:
lspci -vvv output can be obtained here:

dmesg output can be obtained here:
http://fragfest.homelinux.net:81/test/dmesgout.txt
This problem has existed and required the bootloader option since after kernel
2.4.18.8.2mdk-1-3mdk. I had just hoped things would get sorted out sooner or later as
there
had been quite a few bugs related to this subsystem.
