Hello. I'm trying to get a 2.6 kernel to work with kdb, but I keep
getting the above error on the BIOS splash screen, and then the
machine's ethernet interfaces don't come up.
Here are the symptoms and some of the things I've tried:
- first boot with 2.6.8 and kdb works (no error msg), but subsequent
reboots give the IRQ error
- if I use a kdb-patched 2.6 kernel, but without selecting the kdb
option in "make xconfig", it seems to work fine (multiple reboots)
- machine also works fine with plain 2.6.8 kernel (no kdb patches
applied)
- I've tried 2.6.8 and 2.6.11 kernels with same problem (I'm happy to
try 2.6.14, if you think it will help)
- we've successfully used kdb with 2.4 kernels on this machine
- I searched google and this list's archives, but didn't see
anything obvious
If you've got any ideas for other things to try, please let me know.
Also, I've got lots of info (dmesg, lspci, etc), but don't know what
will help debug this the fastest -- just let me know.
Thanks.
jeff
ps. this is an x86 P4, tyan S2707 with AMI BIOS, running debian
